Functions:
- Jointly responsible for lab assistance and organisation
- Development and support for the analysis of arsenic species (As(III) and As(V))
- Responsible for the ICP-OES, Hg-Analytics and other analytic domains
- Collaboration in diverse ongoing scientific projects of the research group
- Planning and realization of diverse field campaigns
- Teaching in beachelor and master courses
- Member of the Working Group Public Relations
Analytics:
-
ICP-OES (Agilent ICP-OES 720 and Varian Vista MPX) - Element analysis in solutions and digestions
- Mulitelement analysis (mainly cations) in different solutions (water samples, eluates, soil and sediment digestions)
-
Analysis of arsenic species (As(III) und As(V))
- Analysis of arsenic in water samples and eluates with Hydride Genaration. An ICP-AES (Agilent ICP-OES 720) is used for detection. The method offers the possibility to quantify As(III) and As(V) in natural and synthetic samples.
- For trace concentrations < 1ppb an AFS Excalibur from PSA is used.
-
Analysis of mercury in solid samples
- Analysis of mercury in solid with an AMA 254 from Leco
