The achievement of the second year course of Analytical Chemistry I is required. Knowledges deriving from the first year courses of chemistry, mathematics and physics are required. Basic knowledges about the utilisation of electronic spreadsheet is required.
The exam of this module will feature a written test and an oral examination. The written test includes one exercise related to the elaboration of the results of one of the determinations seen during the laboratory practice. The oral examination will concern two questions about all issues discussed during the lectures.
The mark of this module will be the average of the written text, the oral examination and the evaluation of the laboratory activities.
The goal of this module is to furnish technical knowledges about instrumental analytical chemistry, through laboratory practice. Activities of this module are strictly related to the topics treated in Module A. The student will acquire knowledges in the following fields:
a)calibration of analytical instruments;
b)extraction and pre-concentration methods;
c)wet digestion methods for solids;
d) GC-FID, GC-ECD, GC-TCD, GC-MS determinations;
e)HPLC-UV/Vis determinations;
f)ETAAS and ICP-MS determinations;
g)FTIR determinations.
The skills the student is expected to acquire relates to the deep understandings on how to handle and process data coming from instrumental deteminations.
Oral lectures (12h):
a)Solvent extraction and solid phase extraction pre-concentration techniques;
b)Gaschromatographic methods for the determination of: BTEX, PCB, chlorinated pesticides, fatty acid s composition of oils;
c)Micro wave assisted wet digestion of solids;
d)ETAAS and ICP-MS elemental determinations;
e)FTIR determination of hydrocarbons.
Labortory activities (60 ore): utilisation of the explained methods in groups of 3-4 students
a)Solvent extraction and solid phase extraction pre-concentration techniques;
b)Gaschromatographic methods for the determination of: BTEX, PCB, chlorinated pesticides, fatty acid s composition of oils;
c)Micro wave assisted wet digestion of solids;
