Analytical & Environmental Chemistry

This subject delves into the world of environmental contaminants and their impact on water and soil quality. Additionally, it introduces frequently used analytical techniques essential for environmental and industrial monitoring and analysis. Students will gain proficiency in a range of analytical techniques critical for achieving desirable environmental outcomes. The practical component of this subject offers hands-on experience in applying analytical techniques to environmental samples. Students will work with state-of-the-art equipment, including mass spectrometry (MS), gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ion chromatography (IC) and atomic absorption/emission spectrometry. These practical exercises will reinforce the theoretical knowledge gained in lectures and provide students with valuable real-world analytical skills.
