Learning outcomes
|
The course is designed to provide students with an overview of photophysics and photochemistry fundamental principles, to give them information about the photochemical reactions occuring in natural waters and to show the possibilities of photochemical transformation of natural as well as xenobiotic compounds.
Student understands fundamental photochemical laws. Student is able to characterize individual photochemical processes. Student learn the experimental approaches in practical photochemical experiments. Student master the application of general theoretical principles on natural water systems.
