| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, examination in June with partial in January |
|
Course contents :
|
| Introduction to quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC), Validation of analytical methods
Electrochemical methods of analysis. Basic Concepts; potentiometry, membrane electrodes ; electrolysis, coulometry, polarography: classical, differential and anodic stripping; amperometry.
Introduction to mass spectrometry and hyphenated techniques GC-MS and LC-MS
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 spectroscopy. Comparison and application of the various methods. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| 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 NMR, matters which belong to other courses |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Good knowledge of the basic concepts of electrochemistry, atomic and molecular spectroscopy. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| See below |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Theoretical courses (30h): 1st semester. Face to face. Copies of lecture slides are available.
The rehearsals concerns certain parts of the theoretical course, illustrated by exercises. The subject covered during the rehearsals is mainly electrochemistry. Quantitative approaches by internal standard and isotope dilution are also discussed. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| - 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 a powerpoint provided to the students.
- 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, DeBoeck University, (1997) |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The evaluation includes:
1) an interrogation on some topics of the previous year (written interrogation)
2) an interrogation with possible exemption at 10/20 on electrochemistry ( in January), (written interrogation)
3) an examination on laboratory work (written examination)
4) the 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, 30% for laboratory work, 5% for the examination on practical work.
Note: when the score of the oral examination is lower than 10, the results of laboratory work are not taken into account. |
|
Work placement(s) :
|
| Laboratory work and rehearsals (115h + 30h). The Laboratory work (115 H) are divided into two parts:
1st part: electrochemical methods: classical, pulsed and anodic stripping polarography ; coulometry; amperometry.
2nd part: spectral methods of analysis: atomic absorption; molecular absorption 1) UV-Visible, 2) Infra-red; analysis by emission (identification of elements) - initiation to gas chromatography and titrations in non-aqueous solvents. |
