Dragana BLAGOJEVIĆ

Assistant Professor, PhD in Chemistry

Research field: Analytical Chemistry

Assistant professor of analytical chemistry and Doctor of Chemical Sciences in the field of analytical chemistry. She deals with the chemical analysis of real samples (water, soil, bauxite, red sludge) using different methods (gravimetric and volumetric methods, potentiometry, conductometry, UV-VIS spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS)). She also investigated the influence of packaging and storage conditions on the chemical composition of mineral water. Recently, she has been working on the characterization of different types of bauxite by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF).
