The Materials chemistry and sustainable development course exercises were completed yesterday. In the first lab work, metals were identified by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and separated by precipitation, and in the second work hackmanites were prepared and their purity was studied by powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and color change and luminescence properties by UV lamps and reflectance spectrometry.

The enthusiastic students and also the instructors performed the tasks excellently, and the general comment was that the excercises were interesting.
