Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
The aim of the analytical chemistry and chemometrics course is to enable students to:
- Conduct quantitative analyses based on protocol
- Exploit appropriate statistical tools for data processing, using an excel spreadsheet, be able to present analytical results and be critiqued.
- Understand the chemical equilibrium of water and apply this to natural water.
- Understand the steps of sample preparation and the stages of instrumental analysis.
- Understand the physical principle and operation of elemental analysis techniques and UV-visible spectroscopy and understand their limitations and potential.
- Understand the basic principles of chromatography
- Be able to provide and interpret an analtical report.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
As quantitative analysis plays a major role in many fields of engineering sciences, basic statistical tools for the presentation and validation of the results will be taught.
The calibration methods for quantification when using relative methods are the subject of a specific part of this course, which is necessary to understand matrix effects and errors associated with different instrumental analytical techniques. Some methods of sample preparation / concentration are integral to the teaching.
This analytical chemistry course is primarily based on the chemistry of aqueous media. A rapid review of the main balances and kinetic aspects of chemical reactions is the basis for the presentation of calco-carbonic equilibrium and complexation reactions (study of complexes present in natural water and complexation reactions for analysis of things, such as different hardnesses). The molecular spectrometric techniques (UV-visible) will complete this part. Both for liquid and solid samples, elemental analyses by atomic emission and absorption spectrometries (flame photometry, ICP, atomic absorption) will be studied on the basis of principles of analysis, instruments, their particularities and various configurations (hydride generation, graphite furnace, ICP-MS, etc.) and possible difficulties for each technique will be discussed (interference, sensitivity, linearity, etc.). In addition, X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction will be discussed for the comparison for solid samples analysis.
A final part of the course is dedicated to the introduction of gas and liquid chromatographic methods as part of environmental applications such as quantification of PAH or chlorinated solvents in water or soil.
Prior Experience
Knowledge of basic chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium conditions and expressions of equilibrium constants and the notions of thermochemistry are required to follow this teaching unit. Optical notions and statistical calculations are also required.
