| Summary |
|---|
| The course „Hydrogeochemistry and Water Sampling“ is providing information on the basic properties of water systems, chemical composition of waters in respect to the origin of individual components, forms of their occurence and their properties. Students will be also acquinted with occurence, properties and behaviour of pollutants in waters including the basic methods of their analytical determination. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| Our intention is to provide a broad coverage of topics (see annotation of the course) in order to acquaint students with the basic principles of the subject taught and their practical applications. |
| Course Contents |
|---|
Physical-chemical properties of water
Electrical conductivity, redox potential, surface pension, solubility, electronegativity of solution, chemical equivalents, reaction kinetics, fugacity , activity, ionic strength.
Physical –chemical processes in water
Dissolution, hydration, hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction.
Methods of water sampling
Basic analytical methods.
Inorganic matters in water - metals (Ag, Cd, Hg, Pb, Se, Cr, Ni, Co, Mo, W, V, Be, Sn, Sb, Tl, Ti).
Organic matters in water.
Chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand. Pesticides, detergents.
