Dr.
LIU’s research interests are in the areas of nuclear chemical engineering,
nuclear fuel cycle technology, and nuclear fuel cycle strategy.
Nuclear Chemical Engineering
Separative
technologies used in the nuclear realm, such
as solvent-solvent extraction, adsorption, ion exchange and
etc..
Selective
recovery for specific elements and species:
uranium, plutonium, trans-uranium elements, strontium, cesium, radiocarbon and
etc..
Chemical
and radiochemical analytical technologies:
sample collection and preparation, instrumental analytical approaches and
R&D on nuclear measuring technology.
Nuclear Fuel Cycle technology
Spent
nuclear fuel reprocessing: R&D on novel separative technology and process engineering
High
level radioactive waste partitioning: removal of trans-uranium element, selective separation of cesium and strontium,
and trivalent lanthanides/actinides separation.
Low
and intermediate level radioactive waste treatment: low
and intermediate level liquid cementation, and advanced purification of low
radioactive water
Nuclear
decommissioning: site
characterization, decontamination technology, comprehensive project
management
Nuclear Fuel Cycle Strategy
Simulation,
modelling and optimization of nuclear fuel cycle system
Evaluation
of nuclear fuel cycle system: in
terms of resource utilization, waste generation, safety/security/safeguards,
health and environmental impact, economic issues and etc..
