| Other existing equipment |
| The other equipment that is available to the team in the realization of the project is listed in the following. |
|
1. |
Ion chromatograph, Advanced Compact IC system 861, produced by Metrohm, Switzerland. The device consists of an injector, double piston pump, column support with columns, suppressor, peristaltic pump and conductivity detector. A computer program for the process control and data storing and processing is also included. The detection limit is about 1 ppb. The equipment was purchased in 2007 through a SCOPES international project. |

2. |
Polarographic and voltammetiric device, 793 VA Computrace Analyser, produced by Metrohm, Switzerland. The device is a trielectrode system for voltammetric and polarographic analysis that enables one to apply various techniques (cyclic, differential pulse etc.). The mercury, silver, gold and glassy carbon electrodes are used. A computer system for the process control and data storing and processing is also included. The detection limit is below 1 ppb. The equipment was purchased in 2006. |

3. |
Raman spectrometer, Advantage 532, produced by DeltaNu, USA. The device includes a YAG type laser of the wavelength of 532 nm. The spectral range is from 200 to 3400 cm-1. The equipment was purchased in 2008. |
|
4. |
Device for temperature programmed desorption and mass spectrometry, appeared through the selfconstruction. It includes an MR200 heater with programer, produced by mPEM, Serbia, and an Extorr 300 mass spectrometer, produced by Extorr, USA. The mass spectrometer enables one to analyze the molecules of the mass up to 300 amu and operates under the conditions of high vacuum. The parts of the device were purchased in 2005 and the device was commissioned in 2006. |
