Keywords: Non-ionic surfactants, biodegradation, metabolites, tensammetry, HPLC, HPLC-MS, thallium, DP-ASV, soil, sequential extraction

Research profile:

Biodegradation of non-ionic surfactants, biodegradation metabolites and pathways, separation of non-ionic surfactants and metabolites from environmental matrices (liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, adsorption, determination of non-ionic surfactants and metabolites in environmental samples (tensammetry, HPLC, HPLC-MS, ion-selective electrodes). Fate of non-ionic surfactants in sewage treatment plants, mathematical modeling. Development of tensammetric methods for the determination of surfactants. Thallium in environmental matrices: water, soil, sequential extraction of soil.

Domains of applications:

Monitoring surfactants in sewage treatment and surface water. Fate of thallium in the environment.
