  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Radiochemistry

Background:

  • Selective isolation of radionuclides like 90Sr is crucial for environmental monitoring.
  • Traditional methods often involve complex procedures and significant reagent consumption.
  • Developing efficient and automated analytical techniques for radionuclide determination is an ongoing challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a sequential injection procedure for the determination of 90Sr using a flow-reversal wetting-film extraction method.
  • To optimize the extraction and elution conditions for selective strontium isolation.
  • To evaluate the performance of the developed method for environmental sample analysis.

Main Methods:
