Robert Lascola is an Advisory Scientist in the Environmental & Legacy Management Directorate of Savannah River National Laboratory and Team Lead for the Online Monitoring group. Lascola’s work involves developing process and laboratory analytical methods using absorption, Raman/IR, X-ray, and fluorescence spectroscopies, including the development of chemometric analysis in support of those methods.
In the second and final part of our interview with Rob Lascola, he addresses the main challenges in achieving accurate acidity measurements using Raman spectroscopy in complex, highly absorptive systems, as well as explains what he has learned about dissolution mechanisms, and how these insights can influence future nuclear processing strategies.
In this interview segment, Rob Lascola discusses how Raman spectroscopy complements other techniques in fuel dissolution and solvent extraction and what Raman can detect in off-gas streams.
