Project: „Spectrometric techniques for detection of heavy metal contaminants”


No. 2009/0210/1DP/1.1.1.2.0/09/APIA/VIAA/100

 


 

 

The aim of the project is to create inter-disciplinary group engaging new scientists into solving actual problems of environmental pollution. Activities include development of light sources (high-frequency electrodeless lamps) for atomic absorption spectrometers, spectroscopic measurements of manufactured lamps, relevant theoretical calculations, practical measurements of mercury concentration in air and water to determine pollution sources and to assess possible measures for demercurization. Scientific areas involved in the project include optics, theoretical physics, technical physics, environmental chemistry and eco-toxicology.

Project activities:

Development of samples of high-frequency electrodeless lamps

Spectroscopic investigations of developed lamp samples  

Improvement of the theoretical self-consistent model of low-temperature plasma

Experimental determination of mercury pollution

Protection of intellectual property and dissemination of information
