Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Spectral methods of analysis. General technical layout: dispersive systems, detectors. Emission spectrometry: flame, , ICP and ICP-MS. Atomic absorption. Molecular UV-Visible-IR absorption, Raman spectroscopy. Assessment of analytical data, Quality Insurance. Comparison and applications of various methods.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To present with some details the most common analytical methods, on the basis of chemical and physical processes. It is oriented towards qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements by spectral methods, together with an introduction to Quality Insurance
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Good knowledge of the fundamentals of molecular and atomic spectroscopy
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
See below
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Theoretical part: 10h Tuesday afternoon
Laboratory work: 30h, second semester: Analysis of a rock; titrimetry, colorimetry, gravimetry.
This laboratory work activity is part of the teaching module and is mandatory. The student who does not participate at the entire activity and/or provided their reports outside the deadlines fixed will not be admitted at the exam.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Recommended or required readings
Notes and copies of transparencies are available for the totality of the course.
Powerpoint slides are available in French and English
The laboratory experiment book is also available
Reference books:
The students can obtain supplementary information, for instance in the excellent book: "ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY by D.A.SKOOG, D.M. WEST and F.J HOLLER. 3rd Edition (2015)
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
oral exam
- Remote
oral exam
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred remote
Additional information:
The evaluation consists in an oral exam in june (one hour of written preparation followed by an oral discussion)
The distribution on the final score is as follows: 70% for the oral exam; 30% for the laboratory work. Note: if the score of the oral exam is below 10, the results obtained from the laboratory work are not taken into account in the final score.
The same exam procedure is applied in September
