The new laboratories
Project "Eco-innovative system for management of waste with unknown composition and origin in Bulgaria"
"The control device for the identification of unknown and hazardous substances on site are designed to determine substances in a contactless manner in order to avoid contact with the sample. They have build-in libraries, including the spectrograms of the most common chemical compounds from popular groups. The working system is waterproof and capable of decontamination solutions."
Dr. Ralitza Anguelova, manager of the Project
The presence of these devices allows high work efficiency and cover a wide range of identification. Short terms of measurement and rapid orientation in complex and specific situations are indispensable conditions for the quality of work done. Such a characteristics are particularly valuable in the event of unforeseen circumstances requiring a rapid response.
The laboratories
The Central chemical laboratory in Stara Zagora is equipped for qualitative and quantitative analyzes of samples of waste;
The Mobile chemical laboratory is equipped for sampling and analysis on site.
Basic equipment required for full characterization of waste
System for the identification of unknown compounds and pesticides analyzer in combination with a mass selective detector and a spectral library of 920 kinds of pesticides and 243,000 spectra of 220,000 compounds. Basically it is a gas chromatograph, which can be used to analyze any kind of compounds in the replacement of the chromatographic column with appropriate for the type of interest substances.
Spectrophotometer with inductively coupled plasma with synchronous dual monitor plasma - simultaneous measurement of micro and macro levels of all identifiable elements. The plasma is divided into two streams and an axial-radial channel and thus register the various concentrations. Can be choose to work with only one of the channels. When working with both channels at the same time, there is no spectral interferences. To determine the easily volatile compounds (mercury, arsenic, selenium, tellurium) to the apparatus binds hydride system (generator) for their analysis. The device is able to record from trace to percentage amounts. Works with heavy salt matrices.
