Environmental and Isotope Geochemistry Group
The Leading Research Group of Environmental and Isotope Geochemistry at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences, CZU Prague, focuses on various aspects of environmental geochemistry and soil chemistry. The Group belongs to the Center for Water, Soil and Landscape at CZU. Its primary interests include:
- Soil chemistry
- Behavior of legacy and emerging pollutants in the environment
- Chemical stabilization and phytostabilization of metal(loid)s in soils
- Adsorption processes and modeling
- Tracing contamination sources and biogeochemical processes using various isotope systems (Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr, Zn)
The Group uses laboratories of the Department of Environmental Geosciences equipped with:
- TIMS Triton plus (Thermo)
- ICP MS iCAP Q (Thermo)
- ICS-5000+ HPIC System Dionex (Thermo) (IC-ICP MS)
- ICP OES 720 Series (Varian)
- TOC-L CPH C analyzer (Shimadzu)
- Benchtop XRD system D2 PHASER XE-T (Bruker)
- Laser particle size analyzer ANALYSETTE 22 NanoTec (Fritsch)
- Automatic titration system TitroLine Alpha Plus Titrator (Schott)
- Microwave system Anton Paar Multiwave PRO etc.
