Development and interpretation of analytical techniques for the
assessment of chemical speciation and availability of inorganic
elements, nanomaterials, and antibiotics in natural waters, soils,
culture media and food
Instrumentation:
Electrochemical techniques:
Potentiometric titration with Ion Selective Electrodes (ISE)
Techniques based on Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV), e.g.: Absence of Gradients and Nernstian Equilibrium Stripping (AGNES), for the measurement of free metal ion concentrations of certain elements (Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu, Sn, In, Ga, Tl, etc.) in aqueous (or hydroalcoholic) solutions.
Passive samplers:
Diffusion Gradients in Thin Films (DGT) devices plus ICP-MS (inorganic species) or LC-MS (organic compounds) analysis of eluates. To be deployed in natural/wastewaters, soils and sediments.
Nanomaterial characterization:
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Laser-Doppler Electrophoresis (Zeta potential).
