Hydrology und Experimental Biogeochemistry

Research interests:

• Redox cycling of iron and sulfur and their impact on element mobility (Sb, As and Cr)
• Interactions between metal(loid)s and mineral surfaces (e.g. iron hydroxides and iron sulfides)
• Speciation and mobility of toxic metal(loids) in contaminated soils and sediments
• Speciation and behaviour of toxic metal(loids) in synthetic products, e.g. Sb migration from baby clothes into body liquids
• Methods: XAS (S, Fe, Sb, As and Cr), HPLC-ICP-MS, SEM-EDX, Laser ablation ICP-MS
