Research
Interests
Chemical Analysis: Amperometric, polarographic and
anodic stripping methods, interactions of heavy metals between water and
sediment, trace elements in ancient alloys, determination of cyanides by
amperometric flow-through electrode, toxic effects of cyanides on marine
organisms, voltammetric determination of trace elements in waste waters, determination
of nickel, cobalt and palladium by adsorptive stripping voltammetry, voltammeric
determination of surfactants, trace elements in food, waters and high-tech
materials (uranium), determination of mercury by could vapour atomic absorption
spectrometry, flow-injection analysis and separations in continuous flow
system, photochemical decomposition of cyanide complexes, electrochemical
sensors, separations in ion chromatography, HPLC and electrophoresis.
Bioelectroanalytical chemistry: Electrochemical labelling of pharmaceuticals
and enzymes with 99mTc and 131I, effects of the electrical stimulation on
the corrosion processes of implants.
Electrochemistry: mechanism of electrode processes,
electrochemical reduction of technetium(VII), reduction of nitrate on copper
electrodes, electrochemical reduction of nickel(II) and palladium (II) in
the presence of dimethylglioxime, electrochemical synthesis of pyridine derivatives,
electrochemical characterisation of lithium-boron alloys, mechanism of the
electrodeposition of copper from alkaline solutions, spectroelectrochemical
investigation of electrochromic films, mechanism of the oxidative depolimerization
of cellulose.
Electronics and instrumentation: construction and automatisation
of electrochemical instruments, e.g., potentiostats, polarographs, automated
cyanide analyser.
