Application


  • A study of the hydration of the alkali metal ions in aqueous solution.: This research explores the hydration properties of alkali metal ions, focusing on lithium ions in aqueous solutions. The study provides insights into the hydration structures and dynamics, which are essential for understanding various chemical processes involving lithium hydroxide (Mähler J, Persson I, 2012) (Mähler and Persson, 2012).


  • Determination of markers in digesta and feces by direct current plasma emission spectroscopy.: This paper discusses the use of direct current plasma emission spectroscopy for analyzing markers in biological samples. The method′s applicability for detecting lithium ions among other markers in complex matrices showcases its utility in analytical chemistry and related fields (Combs DK, Satter LD, 1992) (Combs and Satter, 1992).
