Keywords: neutron activation analysis (NAA), definitive
methods, ion exchange, analytical and radiochemical separations, certified
reference materials (CRMs), inorganic trace analysis, ion chromatography(IC),
quality assurance
Research profile:
Determination of trace elements in various matrices
by NAA. Elaboration of definitive (very accurate ) methods for selected
trace elements by radiochemical NAA to be used for control of accuracy of
other instrumental methods of trace analysis and certification of reference
materials. Determination of noble metals (trace amounts). Development of
new selective separation and preconcentration methods for trace analysis
with the use of radioactive tracers, with the special emphasis on ion exchange
and extraction chromatography methods. Preparation and certification of
reference materials, for inorganic trace analysis. Organization of interlaboratory
comparisons and proficiency tests. Determination of anions and cations by
ion chromatography.
Domains of applications:
Trace analysis of various types of materials
(biological, geochemical, environmental etc.) including small, precious
and unique samples ( e.g. meteorites, objects of art., etc.). Cerftification
of reference materials. Devising of separation schemes for the preconcentration,
isolation and determination of trace elements in
various matrices. Devising of separation methods for micro-macro separations.
