Laboratory of (pre)concentration

The Laboratory was founded by Prof. Ivan M. Gibalo in 1970. Professor Yuri A. Zolotov is the head of the Laboratory since 1980. Currently, Nikolai M. Kuz'min is a second Professor at the Laboratory.

Research groups

• The group of Dr. Dmitrienko (Stanislava Dmitrienko, Larisa Pyatkova and postgraduate student Elena Myshak) is studying the sorption properties of polyurethane foams. The work concerns with elaboration of the sorption spectroscopy and test methods for the determination of inorganic and organic compounds, especially with relation to environmental analysis.
• The group of Dr. Pletnev (Igor Pletnev, Nina Pasekova, Irina Torocheshnikova, post-graduate students Irina Lyutikova and Vladimir Melnikov) is dealing with analytical applications of host-guest complex chemistry. The group is studying and designing novel hosts suitable for binding, extraction, and membrane transport of organic compounds, with special attention to those of biological interest (amines, amino acids, saccharides, etc.). This work is going in close contact with electro-chemists (ion-selective electrodes; the group of Dr. Svedene of our Electrochemical Laboratory) and synthetic chemists (the groups of Prof. Formanovsky from the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Moscow, and Dr. Baukin from Institute of Physiologically Active Compounds). Another part of current research concerns with application of molecular mechanics calculation for studying selectivity of analytical reagents and inorganic stereochemistry, in general.
• The group of Dr. Tsysin (Grigory Tsysin, Nadegda Sorokina and Lubov Bogachova) is working on the development of theory and methods of dynamic sorption preconcentration of elements. This means: choice and synthesis of high efficiently sorbents for dynamic preconcentration; working out sensitive flow methods of FAAS, FAFS, ICP-AES, X-ray determination of toxic elements in waters, soils, food-stuffs, rare earth and noble metals in rocks, alloys, technological solutions using on-line sorption preconcentration.
• The group of Dr. Morosanova is dealing with continuous-flow analysis and sorption test methods.

  The laboratory is also studying complexation of vetal ions with silica-bound organic ligands (Dr. Tikhomirova and Dr. Fadeeva), use of these sorbents in various methods for sorption preconcentration of vetal ions and some organic compounds (phenols, amines).

Courses

• Introduction into Modern Analytical Chemistry (Prof. Yu.A. Zolotov);
• Complex compounds with inorganic and organic reagents (Associate Prof. Fadeeva);
• Methods of separation and preconcentration (Associate Prof. Dmitrienko, Assistant Prof. Torocheshnikova).
