Module Aims
To understand and gain practical skills using modern analytical techniques, including sample preparation, and data interpretation.
Content Summary
The following content is delivered while setting the techniques within their modern industrial applications.
1) An introduction to the analytical process and problem definition. Review of quantification in analytical chemistry and the role of instrument calibration including the occurrence and identification of random and systematic errors by statistical analysis.
2) Sample Preparation: simple approaches employing extraction procedures. Review of intermolecular
forces, solubility, partition co-efficientsand retention mechanisms in chromatography.
3) Comparison and applications of different forms of chromatographic techniques:SPE, gas chromatography, HPLC
4) Applications of spectroscopic techniques including
UV-vis spectroscopy, Infrared and Raman spectroscopy.
5) Whole structure elucidation through application of advanced spectroscopic techniques, in particular structural characterisation by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
