In the present thesis entitled "Utilization of carbon materials for the study of metal ions, quantum dots and lactoferrin binding metal", different forms of carbon for a specific application were used. Nanoforms of carbon, such as carbon nanotubes, reduced graphene oxide and expanded carbon were used for the isolation of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. These materials are characterized by high surface area and ability to bind the heavy metal ions on its surface by either physical or chemical adsorption. The influence of the interaction time and the efficiency of adsorption and concentration capacity were studied for various sorbents. This work has been also focused on the electrochemical detection of quantum dots for labelling the influenza virus, and also to detection the presence of a metal-binding protein lactoferrin. Electrochemical detection of quantum dots and lactoferrin was performed using a glassy carbon electrode. Detection of silver ions on different carbon paste electrodes was another aim of this work and the obtained results were used to study the antimicrobial effect of encapsulated silver ions to the bacterial culture Staphylococcus aureus.
