Chemical Analysis Laboratory

• Study and development of chemical analysis methods for non-ferrous, rare, and precious metals and high-purity substances.
• Metrology and standardization of chemical analysis methods.
• Development of methods for local analysis, nanoanalysis, X-ray fluorescence, and powder X-ray diffraction analysis.
• Development of atomic-spectral methods for the analysis of inorganic substances and materials.
• International cooperation in the field of chemical analysis.

A set of methods for the analysis of rare metals and reusable metal-containing raw materials with improved metrological characteristics was developed and certified.

A methodology for the application of high-purity substances as primary standards of comparison in determining the metrological traceability of analytical methods was proposed.

Theoretical, experimental, and methodological foundations of electron probe X-ray microanalysis, using the characteristic radiation lines in the soft range of the X-ray spectrum as an analytical signal (quantum energy from 100 eV to 1 keV) were created.

A mathematical model for the thermal effect of a focused electron beam on an object under study in electron probe X-ray microanalysis was developed.
