Subject syllabus

The course is focused on the following issues:

1. Physical and chemical methods of sample preparation. The use of separation techniques.
2. Application of atomic fluorescence spectroscopy, procedures and interpretation of results.
3. Methods for atomic absorption spectroscopy in relation to the determination of trace concentrations of particular analytes in iron matrices, steel and iron alloys and nonferrous metals.
4. Advantages, disadvantages of atomic emission spectroscopy (inductively coupled plasma, spark, electric arc, glow discharge or laser).
5. Electrochemical methods of analysis and theirs using.
6. Procedures for determination of non-metallic elements such as sulphur, carbon, oxygen, etc.
7. The determination of organic pollutants pyrometallurgic´s products by chromatographic methods, including sample preparation.
8. Foundations of chemometry for quality assurance of analytical results.

Exercise content:
Practical applications of individual methods in the determination of selected analytes. The choice of methods can be focused on the content of the topic of dissertation theses.
