Eligibility
General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Specific entry requirements
The same as for the programme that owns the course.Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Course specific prerequisites
Physical chemistry and mathematical statistics. It is recommended with knowledge in inorganic and organic chemistry.Aim
The course aims to provide basic knowledge of analytical-chemical nomenclature, methodology, instrumentation and data processing with emphasis on industrial commonly used applications.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- use and evaluate data from industry-common instruments used in chemical analysis
- use and apply the analytical process to solve problems in chemical analysis
- use basic knowledge in analytical chemistry to reflect on analytical techniques, sample preparation and sources of error supported by relevant theory formation.
Content
Analytical nomenclature, the concepts of accuracy, precision, sensitivity, detection limit and dynamic range.Validation of analysis methods.
Electroanalytical methods: pH and other ion-selective measurements, electrochemical trace element determinations.
Atomic spectroscopic analysis methods: flame emission spectroscopy, atomic spectroscopy techniques and plasma-based techniques.
Molecular spectroscopic analysis methods: ultraviolet and visible light (UV-VIS), near infrared (NIR) and fluorescence measurements, including laser-based techniques.
Analytical separation techniques: gas, liquid and ion chromatography and supercritical chromatography.
Common detection techniques, UV/VIS, MS and FID.
Mass spectrometry. Ionizationtechniques and analyzers. Interpretation of mass spectra.
Organisation
Lectures, seminars, laboratory work and a written assignment with oral presentation.Literature
We primarily recommend the free e-book Analytical Chemistry 2.1 av David Harvey

Examination including compulsory elements
Approved laboratory works and approved reports from laboratory work (U/G).Test papers, written assignment and oral presentation (U/3/4/5).
The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
