The diploma thesis deals with the use of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for detection of heavy metals traces, copper and lead, in aqueous solution of copper(II) sulphate pentahydrate and lead(II) ethanoate trihydrate. Results obtained by using single and double-pulse LIBS are compared. The theoretical section focuses on the issue of heavy metals and detection possibilities, describes the fundamental principle of LIBS technique and its modification for liquid analysis. The experimental section describes analyzed samples, the experimental apparatus, double-pulse technique, and method of spectral analysis. The moving breakdown model, which theoretically predicts optimal values of some experimental parameters, is explained briefly in section Optimalizácia. This model has been tested, however the results of experiments did not prove the theory. Furthermore, the experimental section reports the process and results of the optimization of all key measurement parameters and obtaining limits of detection from calibration curves.
