Chair of Analytical and Physical Chemistry

The Chair for Analytical and Physical Chemistry currently consists of ten professors and two associates. A number of researchers and other associates also contribute to the work carried out within the Chair. Throughout every level of the studies (Undergraduate Academic Studies, Master Academic Studies, and Doctoral Academic Studies), the students attend a great number of courses within these scientific fields. The members of the Chair are the authors of 14 university coursebooks, workbooks, as well as practicums. The professors, associates and researchers of the Chair deal with the following fields of scientific research: the GC-MS analysis of PAHs with the optimization of the method of samples preparation, the development and validation of the ICP-OAES methods, the development and validation of kinetic spectrophotometric methods, the HPLC determination of total polyphenols, flavonoids and anthocyanins with the examination of the kinetics of their degradation, the spectrophotometric and the cyclic voltammetry determination of antioxidant activity. A large number of papers has been published in international and national journals. The research laboratories are equipped with ICP-AES
