Environmental Chemistry Lab Course: Basic - Einzelansicht

The students understand and are able to practically apply the different techniques and methods to quantify environ­mental pollutants analytically and to become familiar with the limitations of these methods.

The students understand and become familiar on a practical level with methods for the recovery of environmental pollutants in soil and water used in analytical chemistry such as: GC-MS, HPLC, LC-MS, ICP-OES.

· Standard curves

· Recovery estimation

· Identification and quantification limits

· Non extractable residues, matrix blanks

· Methods used for chemical monitoring in the compartments water, soil, air
· Error estimation

!!!! Only registered students can participate in the course !!!!

!! For environmental sciences master students: due to the limitations in terms of Laboratory availabilities, we cannot warranty a place for all registered students. Please consider that in your study plan. !!

This labcourse can only be attended if the last safety instructions is not older than 12 month during the whole duration of the course.

Requirements

(1) Basic knowledge in chemistry (organic and inorganic) and analytical techniques.
(2) Modules ETX1 and ETX3 should be successfully completed before.
(3) Participation at the lab safety assessment with outcome: “recommendation for ETX4A/LAB1”. The test evaluates whether ETX4A / LAB1 or ETX4B / LAB2 is suitable with respect to the student’s previous knowledge. It will be done though oral exams during the winter semester.

In the lab safety assessment the following contents will be examined:
• Knowledge in chemistry (organic and inorganic), and knowledge and experience in analytical techniques
• Knowledge on environmental chemistry (as indicated in this module)
• Experience on handling of laboratory  consumables and devices
