Abstract
The development of analytical methods is nowadays stimulated mainly by the rapid increase of industrial production, the development of high-tech materials and the increasing demands in quality control, health care and preservation of the human environment. The objectives of our research group are therefore oriented towards developments of new high performance analytical methods and their application in the analytical practice.
According to the general trends, research will be performed in the fields of trace analysis (determination of heavy metals and biologically important substances by different instrumental techniques, e.g. AAS, ICP, ASV, MS, IC, HPLC), speciation (degradation of complex cyanides), separation and preconcentration processes (HPLC, CE, CEC, dialysis, SPME), reaction mechanisms (electrode processes, cellulose depolymerisation), and numerical methods (prediction of chromatographic retention indices). The research will be oriented also to the development of hyphenated techniques (ICP-MS, GC-MS, CE-MS, CEC-MS, spectroelectrochemistry), instrumental components (thermal nebulizer for AAS, EC sensors) and automated analytical methods (FIA, CFA, robotics). In the frame of the Programme analytical procedures for determination of some pollutants in the atmosphere (e.g. VOCs, ozone precursors, organic acids) and surface waters (pesticides, heavy metals, anions, cyanides) will be investigated and methods for determination of some microconstituents of interest in food (phtalate, sorbate, aroma-constituents), mineral waters, pharmaceuticals and biological samples (quinolones, chiral compounds) and for elucidating polymer degradation processes (SEC, chemiluminiscence) will be developed.
