Synopsis:

Exercise is focused to practical carrying out of various radioanalytical methods from determination of solubility constant over radiometric titrations to determination of various radionuclides in the environment. It also includes substoichiometric diulution analysis, radioimmunological, rentgenfluorescence, and neutron activation analyses.

Requirements:

1. Practical exercises in nuclear chemistry (15PJCH)

2. Exam or enrolment in Radioanalytical methods (15RAM)

Syllabus of lectures:

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Solubility determination of insoluble compounds using radiactive indicators method.

2. Substoichiometric isotope dilution analysis.

3. Radiochemical determination of 137Cs in surface waters

4. Emanometric determination of radium and radon

5. Neutron activation analysis with delay neutrons measurement

6. Radioimmunological analysis

Study Objective:

The goal of the exercise is to give practical knowledge of basic radioanalytical methods and their principles and also competencies correctly and suitably use these methods.
