Department of Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Metallurgy
Microwave mineralizer, Atomic absorption spectrometer, ICP-OES optical spectrometer, ICP-MS mass spectrometer, EDXRF X-ray fluorescence spectrometer
The department offers hydrometallurgical processing of primary and secondary raw materials with separation and enrichment of metals from parent leaching solutions by solvent extraction, ion exchange, electrolysis, precipitation and crystallization. Other services are: Spectrochemical elemental analysis of materials (environmental samples, industrial and agricultural samples, food) with the development of appropriate sample preparation procedures for these materials (wet decomposition, dry decomposition, solvent extraction, ultrasound- or microwave-assisted extraction) and validation of methods; Application of cold atmospheric plasma in food processing (production of new functional beverages) and agriculture (production of new types of fertilizers and plasma-activated water); Application of cold atmospheric plasma in nanotechnology (synthesis of nanoparticles and nanocomposites); Removal of hazardous and endocrine organic compounds from wastewater using advanced plasma processes.
