Lab
My lab work is represented by experience on diverse activities including:
- processing and treatment of geochemical samples prior to analytical measurements
- physicochemical characterization of soils and waters
- preparation of analytical extraction solutions. Dissolution of geochemical phases in soils and sediments by chemical reagents targeting to release trace elements from their host components
- operation of the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy instrument (flame and graphite furnace modes). This incorporates the preparation of standard solutions and calibration of the instrument for chemical determinations of trace elements in geochemical solutions
- operation of the Scanning Electron Microscopy–Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (SEM-EDS) instrument for semi-quantitative chemical analyses of mineral phases in rock and soil samples
- determination of crystalline minerals by X-ray diffraction
- operation of analytical apparatus like flame photometer (Jenway PFP7) and spectrophotometer (Hach DR 4000) for the determination of major ions in waters
