Course detail

Analytical chemistry of special practical domain

FCH-MCO_ASOAcad. year: 2013/2014

Trends in modern environmental analysis. Analytical chemistry and the environment. Problematics of real world samples.
Destructive and non-destructive analytical methods used for determination of elements and their species in real world samples - such as atmosphere, water, soils, sediments, ash and biological objects. Methods of preparation and decomposition for anorganic, organic and biological samples. Selected anorganic and organic species od elements with respect to their toxicity, essentiality and methods of their determination. The poblem of the ambivalence; reactions with organism and accumulation of toxic elements; damages of organism and tissues by toxic elements and their compounds. The influence of complexing agents to toxicity of elements.
The presen separation and instrumental methods for element analysis of environmental objects. The specific of preparation and decomposition of samples.
In this course relevant methods of selected toxic elements are presented:
Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Beryllium, Selenium, Tellurium, Aluminium, Platinum, Thallium, Chromium, Nickel etc.
Selected toxic compounds, their abuse, monitoring and analysis.
