Biography
She is the Head of the Radionucleotide Spicies in Solution
Research Interest
Radionuclide (metal ions) species in solution. Metal ion hydrolysis (interaction with water) in aqueous solution with the formation of mononuclear and polynuclear hydroxo complexes. Influence of different factors on metal ion hydrolysis: solution pH, temperature, radionuclide concentration, concentration and chemical nature of complexing agents (NO3-, ClO4-, Cl-, SO42-, PO43-, CO32-, C2O42-, EDTA ect.), presence and nature of foreign cations in solution. Investigation of polunuclear hydroxo complexes composition, structure and charge. Radionuclide species in soils. Radionuclide sorption-desorption behaviour in “water-soil” system.
