Dr. Dirk Wallschläger’s research is primarily on the speciation of anion-forming trace metal(loid)s in natural environments and in industrial waste streams. He has developed analytical methods for the speciation of such elements, particularly arsenic, selenium and chromium in liquids and solids using ion chromatography coupled to inductively-coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-MS). He then applies these methods to study the cycling, transformation and fate of these elements in natural and industrial systems.
The Cluster is assisting Dr. Wallschläger in securing private sector partnerships.
