Courses
Compulsory Module 9: Analytical Chemistry B (7 ECTS-Credits, 6 h)
Prerequisites for registration: positive evaluation of compulsory modules 4 and 6
Learning Outcome: The students are able to
¿ describe and compare different techniques of atomic spectroscopy, including their operation, detectors, monochromators, interferences and applications;
¿ explain and critically evaluate areas of application of atomic fluorescence spectroscopy and plasma, spark, arc and laser emission spectroscopy;
¿ know methods to troubleshoot atomic spectroscopy and select appropriate analytical methods for specific samples;
¿ understand, describe and distinguish the interaction of ionising radiation with matter and the different types of decay;
¿ explain different techniques of radioanalysis (alpha, beta and gamma spectroscopy, liquid scintillation) and evaluate their fields of application;
¿ know and describe technical applications of X-ray and electron spectroscopy and compare their advantages and disadvantages;
¿ perform basic analytical techniques such as volume measurement, weighing, precipitation, filtration, digestion and annealing and know and apply appropriate safety and quality control measures;
¿ carry out gravimetric and volumetric determinations including neutralisation and re-dimension analysis as well as complexometry and calculate, document and critically evaluate the results;
¿ apply instrumental analysis techniques such as photometry, pH measurement and conductivity measurement and evaluate the results statistically.
