Key words
ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY – INSTRUMENTAL ANALYSIS - ELECTROCHEMISTRY
Objectives
The main objective is to provide a solid and broad scientifical basis ( chemical and fysico-chemical) which in practice gives access to the application of a great variety of qualitative and quantitative analytical methods and which allows to interpret correctly the derived special literature. Gradually more emphasis is put on a great variety of industrial applications (quality control, problem solving,...)
Topics
Theory
General basic electrochemical principles (mass transport, diffusion, potentials,...)
Electrochemical methods:
- potentiometry
- electrolysis
- voltammetry and polarography
- amperometry
- coulometry
Exercises:
Advanced exercises.
Applications of the different analytical techniques on several sample matrices (food, packing, environmental issues,...).
Prerequisites
Objectives, obtained in the chemical basic modules of the first and second year bachelor chemistry and the analytical chemistry and conductometry of the third year bachelor.
Final Objectives
General scientific competences [AWC1,AWC2,AWC3,AWC4]
To be able to think and argue in a logical, critical, creative and scientific manner and to implement scientific insights to related problems. On the same time the must be able to communicate verbal and/or written in an efficient manner and to report upon scientific/technical problems, to collect and assimilate derived knowledge and information.
General competences [AC1]
The student must be able to discus and to solve problems efficiently in team.
Specific competences [SC1, SC3]
The students must obtain a clear insight into chemical general knowledge and skills and must be able to link the different aspects and apply them in process- and productcontrol.

However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
