Laboratory of Inorganic and Organic Geochemistry and Organic Petrography

Research Objectives:

• Environmental Geochemistry (inorganic & organic) focusing on:
  • Geochemistry of lignite and lignitic ashes
  • Pedology in regards with the soil remediation of mines
  • Behaviour of heavy/toxic metals and organic toxic compounds in soils and underground waters
  • Adsorption of organic compounds and heavy metals in industrial minerals – emphasis in wastes
  • Geochemistry of heavy and toxic metals in sea sediments
• Soil Geochemistry
• Organic Geochemistry of coals and hydrocarbons with emphasis in bio-indicators
• Analysis of pigments and plasters in wall paintings and other works of art
