| Holder(s) : | Gauthier Eppe |
|
| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | 1st part: electrochemical methods of analysis. Basic Concepts; potentiometry, membrane electrodes ; electrolysis, coulometry, polarography: classical, differential and anodic stripping; amperometry.
Second part: spectral methods of analysis. General devices: sources of light, dispersive systems and FourierTransform systems, detectors. Emission spectrometry: flame, ICP and ICP-MS. Atomic absorption. Molecular, UV-Visible and Infra-red absorption. Raman scattering. X-rays spectrometry. Assessment of analytical data, Quality Insurance. Comparison and application of the various methods. |
|
| Course objective : | To present with some details, the most current methods of analysis, based on physical processes. The aspect mainly developed is the quantitative aspect with an introduction to Quality assurance. This course however does not approach neither the mass spectrometry analysis , nor NMR, matters which belong to other courses |
|
| Prerequisites : | Good knowledge of the basic concepts of electrochemistry, atomic and molecular spectroscopy |
|
| Workshops : | See below |
|
| Organization : | Theoretical courses (30h): 1st semester. 1st part: electrochemical methods of analysis: 10 hours. Second part: spectral methods of analysis: 20 hours. Laboratory work (60h).
The laboratory works are carried out during a training course within a local industry, at the beginning of the second semester, at a rate of two days per week during 4 weeks. They are carried out by groups of two to four students and generally consist into developing an analytical method which is of interest directly to the industry. The results are summarized in a report, common to each group and are the subject of an oral presentation in presence of the industry people in charge. |
|
| Written notes : | - Full notes were written and are available for the electrochemistry part and the spectral methods of analysis. They present the basic concepts which will be exposed.
- Moreover, the course is presented via many comprehensive transparencies. These transparencies, at the disposal of the students, are extremely usefull: 1) they constitute a structured summary of the topics presented, 2) since they are updated each year, they include certain recent analytical developments which are not proposed in the notes.
- There is also a booklet of laboratory work
- The students can obtain additional information, in particular in the excellent work: ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY by SKOOG, WEST and HOLLER |
|
| Assessment : | The evaluation includes: 1) an interrogation with possible exemption on the topics presented in spectral analysis (in January), (oral interrogation) 2) a general examination in June (one hour of written preparation followed by an oral defense).
The distribution of the scores on the final score is as follows: - for the oral examination: 1/3 for electrochemistry, 2/3 for the spectral part.
-65% for the oral examination, 35% for the laboratory work.
Note, If the score of the oral examination is below 10, the results of the laboratory work are not taken into account. |
