Radioanalytical Chemistry Laboratory

In the Radioanalytical chemistry laboratory, the concentration and recovery of certain radionuclides from dilute aqueous solutions using various separation techniques (solvent extraction, precipitation, ion exchange, impregnation, sorption, etc.) are realized. For this purpose, natural, biological, nano sized materials and nano composite materials are synthesized / prepared as sorbent for removal of several radionuclides from aqueous solutions, sorption behaviour of radionuclides and thermodynamic properties are investigated. The determination of natural radionuclides in the environmental samples (terrestrial and aquatic) using Radioanalytical techniques; gross alpha and total radium isotopes activities concentrations in the water samples are performed.
