Learning outcomes
|
The course is aimed to provide a detail overview about chemical composition of different types of natural waters, as well as chemical processes affecting the composition and properties of water systems, and the most important analytical methods used in hydrochemistry.
After successful passing the course, students are expected to gain advanced and complex knowledge about chemical composition of different types of natural waters, as well as chemical processes affecting the composition and properties of water systems, and the most important analytical methods used in hydrochemistry. The acquired knowledge may be employed in other chemistry disciplines and related fields (both in teaching or research/commercial laboratories).
