Objectives
The main objective is to provide a solid and broad scientifical 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. Gradually more emphasis is put on a great variety of industrial applications (quality control, problem solving,...)


Topics
Theory:
General basic electrochemical principles (mass transport, diffusion, potentials,...)
Electrochemical methods:
- potentiometry
- electrolysis
- voltammetry and polarography
- amperometry
- coulometry

Exercises:
Advanced exercises
Applications of the different analytical techniques on several sample matrices (food, packing, environmental issues,...)


Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of inorganic and organic chemistry (candidatures) and advanced background of analytical chemistry.


Final Objectives


Materials used
Teacher's course, background information, scientific and technical literature, school library materials


Study costs


Study guidance


Teaching Methods
Lectures, demonstrations, exercises, individual reports, discussion exercises, home study


Assessment
Theoretical partim: combination of written and oral examination
Practical sessions: permanent evaluation and written examination
