The molten salt and nuclear fuel chemistry Group makes full use of the connection with the school's characteristics of “three seas and one nuclear”, and aims at the short board of the nuclear fuel cycle - the key science and technology of spent fuel dry reprocessing as a breakthrough. Basic research on high-temperature molten salt electrochemistry and electroanalytical chemistry are carried out around the nuclear fuel chemistry. The team consists of 5 people, including 3 professors, 1 associate professor and 1 lecturer. The age and professional structure of the team is reasonable, and the research direction is accurately positioned.
Group members have undertaken dozens of scientific research projects, won 2 first prizes and 2 second prizes of Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award, and published more than 200 articles in journals such as Electrochim acta, J. Nucl. Mater, Sep Purif Technol, etc. More than 40 invention patents have been authorized.
During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the group will continue increasing research efforts in the direction of “nuclear fuel cycle back-end”-dry reprocessing to support the development of the school's characteristic chemical engineering, and create an influential scientific research and innovation platform domestic and abroad.
Mainly research directions include:
1. Molten Salt Electrochemistry-Electrolytic Refining Technology of Metallic Spent Fuel
2. Molten Salt Chemical-Oxide Dry Reprocessing of Spent Fuel
3. Molten Salt Physical Chemistry - Waste Treatment and Disposal
4. Molten Salt Electroanalytical Chemistry-Dry processing Electrochemical Detection
