The course will introduce students to the automation in analytical chemistry and to process analytical chemistry.
This course will be divided into two modules. The first module will be dedicated to the acquisition of data in process and analytical chemistry. The basic principles of analogic and digital electronics will be discussed, as well as the data treatment. Here, the principal categories of physical and chemical sensors will be presented.

Sensors and Basic Electronics (32 hours)
- The basic principles of analogic and digital electronics.
- Chemical data acquisition; DA and Ad conversion.
- Some ascpect of statistical data treatment with specific application to chemical data.
- Sensors in Analyical and Process Chemistry:
o Physical sensors (temperature, pressure, flow, light etc.)
o Chemical sensors (electrochemical, spectroscopic)
