The laboratory has different devices and equipment necessary for the separation and recovery of different metal ions from different aqueous media, for electrochemical tests, for metal corrosion - studies and investigations, for the preparation, characterization and testing of different polymer membranes. https://eertis.eu/erlb-2300-000u-7126
The research activity deals with the development of electrochemical micro-(bio)sensors, mainly amperometric and voltammetric sensors, and their application for the multianalyte detection of biologically active compounds and organic pollutants. There is a growing demand for continuous, fast, selective and sensitive monitoring of compounds of biological and environmental significance. The developed electrochemical sensors are based on electrodes modified by bio/composite materials.
Thermal analysis (TG-DSC) in the domain 20-1200 C performed with a Netzsch 449 C Jupiter apparatus. The system permits analysis in oxidant (air) or inert atmosphere (N2 or Ar). Jasco V-560 spectrophotometer with solid sample accessory, working domain 200-850nm. Determine the band-gap for semiconductors, the photocatalytic activity etc. Photoluminescence spectra (PL) can be measured with a Perkin Elmer LS55, range 200-800 nm, with solid or solution samples.
