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.
