Summary: Some methods of chemical analysis were worked out:
spectrophotometric method for the Si(IV) determination with reagent
3,6-dichloro-2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone; spectrophotometric method for
the determination of SiO2 in cement with chloranilic acid;
spectrophotometric method for the determination of Al(III) with chromazurol
S reagent and Fe(III) with 5-sulphosalycilic acid in bauxite. Complexes of
Ni(II) and Cu(II) with
4-(2-quinolylmethileneamino)-1-phenyl-2,3-dimethyl-5-pyrazolone and a
possibility of their analytical application were studied. Considerable
chromatographic investigations were performed: method for qualitative
analysis of cations within 6 analytical groups by thin layer chromatography
on microcrystalline cellulose was worked out; method for systematic
qualitative analysis of cation mixtures by thin layer chromatography on
microcrystalline cellulose was also made; chromatographic behaviour of
arsenic and antimony ions was investigated and a method for separation of
mixture and identification of Sb(III), Sb(V), As(III) and As(V) by TLC on
cellulose was done; thin layer chromatographic behaviour of substituted
phenolic compounds on silica gel layers impregnated with Al(III) and Cu(II)
was studied. Chemical and analytical propertiesof flavonoides in peppermint
leaves were considered. Inhibitory effects of
dimethyl-0-(2,2-dichlorovinil)phosphate (dichlorvos) on the growth of
Aspergillus ochraceus and ochratoxin A syntesis was controled by analytical
methods. Influence of tabacco maturation time on decomposition of its
proteins and on alteration of its metal-protein compounds was also
analytically monitored. Ecological investigations with use of methods and
techniques of chemical analysis were performed: effect of metals and
ammonia on SO2 oxidation to sulphates in ambient air; heterogenous
oxidation of SO2 on Mg, Ca, Al, Fe and Si oxide particulate; removal of
cadmium from waste water by micobe (Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia
coli)biomass
Keywords: Chemical analysis methods and techniques, qualitative and quantitative analysis, spectrophotometry, thin layer chromatography, analytical methods in ecology
Research goals: Aims of investigation have been set: working out
some methods and techniques, in the first place, chromatographic (TLC) and
spectrophotometric methods, for qualitative and quantitative analysis of
ions nad compounds; investigation of some reagents for analytical
purpose;studies of metal-complex ions properties; application of analytical
methods and techniques in ecological investigations, et.c. Considerable
number of expected results was obtained during these investigations.
