Objectives
The main objective is to provide a solid and broad scientifically basis (chemical and fysico-chemical) which in practice gives access to the application of a great variety of qualitative and quantitative analytical methods and which allows to interpret correctly the derived special literature.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of inorganic and organic chemistry (candidatures)
Topics
Theory:
- General information (reporting, sampling methods,...)
- Wet chemical analysis (volumetric procedures: acid-base, redox, precipitation and complexometric titrations )
- Electrochemical methods: conductometric and potentiometric methods.
- Optical methods: interaction electromagnetic radiation ( matter, molecular and atomic absorption / emission (UV - VIS, AES: flame photometry, ICP and AAS)
- Chromatographic techniques: gas - liquid (basic principles), GC,...
Exercises:
- Elementary manipulations (qualitative and quantitative level)
- Applications of the different analytical techniques on several sample matrices (plants, soils, cattle-fodders, fertilizers, environmental issues, ...)
Teaching Methods
- lectures - demonstrations - exercises - individual reports - discussion exercises - home study - training period
Materials used
- teacher's course - background information
- scientific & technical literature - school library materials ...
Study guidance
Supplementary support and explanation is provided by appointment.
Assessment
- Scoring system :
written examination - written tests - others : combination of written and oral examination
oral examination - oral tests
Study costs
Theory-syllabus : ± 10 Euro
Exercises (-syllabus, laboratory-coat,...): ± 40 Euro.
