Summary
The subject deals with chemical and physical-chemical properties of waters and
with the processes which take place in all types of water. The important part
of the subject is also description of the individual compound occurrence in
water and their determination by analytical methods. The fundamentals of
classical and instrumental analytical techniques are given as well.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
An aim of the subject is to give students the basic knowledge of chemistry and analysis of waters to be applied in current practise.
