The tasks of the working group are the development and use of on-site analytical methods and their application for pollutant monitoring and for the investigation of the transfer of pollutants within and between the various environmental compartments.
The development of new measurement techniques for specific environmental analysis issues includes the design and prototype implementation. We use CAD and simulation programs as well as modern manufacturing processes (e.g. 3D printing). Electronic control and modern data transfer methods are also part of this development work. These measurement techniques are tested and applied in the field as part of interdisciplinary research projects. They are also systematically validated in comparison with standardized analysis methods. The focus of these developments is on ion mobility spectrometry, optical spectroscopy and modern sensor technologies.
In addition to providing the measurement technology itself, we also develop new probes for sampling soil gas and groundwater as well as for the in-situ analysis of organic contaminants in water. The synthesis and formatting of highly selective adsorbents and their combination with sensors to increase the selectivity of the measurements is another field of work in our group.
These measurement techniques are used in various research projects, e.g. to monitor water and air quality, to record odor emissions, to monitor processes in the production of microalgae or to detect forest pests.
