Keywords: Spectrophotometry, ICP-AES, ASA, concentration methods, metals, reducing agents, oxidants, surfactants, multiligand complexes

Research profiles:

• basic research on multiligand complexes,
• using of multiligand complexes and conjugate redox complexing reactions in the analysis organic and inorganic compounds with reducing and oxidizing properties,
• application of concentration methods to lower the detecting limit of trace quantities of metals determined by spectrophotometric techniques ICP-AES and ASA.

Multielemental analysis of biological material, soils, surface, potable and waste waters, food by the ICP-AES and ASA techniques.
