Course Objective

Clarifying the importance of separation methods in chemical analysis. Theoretical fundamentals and applications of non-chromatographic analytical methods: precipitation, coprecipitation, extraction, membrane separation, flotation, solvent extraction, on solid sorbents, microwave, supercritical. Theoretical fundamentals and applications of liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, planar chromatography as well as capillary electrophoresis.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to understand importance of separation methods, nature of the separate on process, recovery and separation factor.
2   To be able to classify the chemical separation methods and carry out separation based on selective precipitation.
3   To be able to explain the extraction, theoretical treatment of and instrumentation for solvent extraction and classify the extraction kinds and evaluate the differences between extraction kinds.
4   To be able to explain the basic principles of a chromatographic separation and classify the chromatographic methods, types of chromatographic development.
5   To be able to explain the basic concepts (among other distribution isotherms and peak shapes, column efficiency and Van Deemter plot, relative retention ratio, resolution, qualitative and quantitative analysis via chromatography).
