the student must have clear the concepts of molecular bonds, molecular weight, functional groups and polarity of the molecules, concepts provided in the previous courses of general and inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry
The purpose of the examination is to verify the level of knowledge of the topics developed and to evaluate their applicative capacity. At the end of the course there will be a written exam on the topics covered. This written test consists of two open questions
The principle aim of the course is to provide students with the skills to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis according to codified procedures, using the most common instrumental techniques. The main skills acquired will be:
• To know the principles, the instrumentation of the most common spectroscopic techniques to perform qualitative and quantitative analyzes;
• To know the chromatographic separation techniques and the different chromatographic retention mechanisms;
• To know the instrumentation for gas chromatography and for liquid chromatography;
• To know the principles of nuclear spectroscopy techniques and know how to analyze spectra related to this technique;
• To know the quality control standards for the validation of a method.
The control and quality module within the course of Analytical Chemistry aims to introduce business issues related to analytical techniques and ISO standards
Quality control
- General quality control: the ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 reference standards
- Quality control methods: development and validation
- Gas chromatography: head space for the determination of residual solvents in the finished product; determination of the progress of a reaction with a mixture of dodecylbenzene isomers
- UHPLC: research of residual monomers in acrylic polymers in reverse emulsion
- HPLC: evaluation of the content of a reaction by-product and measurement of the ratio of the two isomers of the finished product
- FT-IR spectrometry: determination of the iodine number in a mixture of regenerated exhausted vegetable oils; control of a ternary mixture of reaction solvents
- NMR technique: evaluation of the substitution efficiency of a natural polymer.
