Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to provide students with an overview of environmental chemistry and basic biogeochemical cycles. The following lessons are focused on instrumental analytical methods: electroanalytical (potentiometry, ion selective electrodes, voltametry), spectroscopy (atomic, molecular) separation (chromatography, electrophoresis).
Students gain knowledge enabling them to understand chemical and biological relationships of environmental processes and changes. Ability to communicate with analytical laboratories, to understand the analytical results, ability to apply knowledge in other chemical and related disciplines.
