Current Trends in the Analysis of Inorganic Materials (shortened version) - Samples: Definition, characterization and classification. Sampling, transport, storage, preservation of samples. - Decomposition of samples by classical methods: Wet decompositions (acid mineralization), Dry melting. - Decomposition and preparation of samples using special instrumentation: High Pressure Ashing (HPA). Microwave mineralization (MWD). Decompositions by (super)oxidizing gases. Instrumentation and examples. Treatment of samples with UV radiation and ultrasound ("sonication"). - Methodology, part I: Analytical procedure, method vs. technique. Characterization of the method(s): economic aspects, metrological properties, performance characteristics, and analytical parameters - Methodology, part II: Methods of quantitative analysis. calibration, external and internal standard, model sample, reference materials). Method of calibration curve, standard sample and standard addition, verification of methods: use of reference methods and/or CRM. - Instrumental Techniques in Modern Inorganic Analysis, Part I: Ion Chromatography (IC), Electrochemical Stripping Analysis (ESA), Solid State Sample Analysis [X-ray Analysis, Solid Phase Electrochemistry]. - Instrumental techniques, part II: Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Atomic and mass spectrometry with plasma ionization (ICP-ES and ICP-MS), Neutron activation analysis (NAA), Modern microscopic techniques (SEM, STEM, AFM). - Environmental analysis: Basic definitions and concepts. Samples from the environment: classification / classes - Green analytical chemistry: Original green chemistry and 12 its principles. Possibilities and limitations of green analytical chemistry: examples of selected techniques fulfilling such criteria - Inorganic trace analysis: trace and ultra-trace concentrations, contaminated vs. contaminated samples. Specifics of trace analysis: very low concentrations, real matrix effect. Use of modern instrumental techniques (with examples). - Inorganic speciation analysis: Definition and classification of the individual forms of the same substance / element (with examples). Specifics of sample collection and pretreatment. Current problems of inorganic speciation analysis. Application of selected instrumental measurements (with examples). + optional topic: Interdisciplinary scientific research projects ... Possibilities of modern instrumental analysis of inorganic ions and molecules in solving tasks of strategic importance and requiring wider cooperation of scientific disciplines and fields. International programs: Intermorgeo, Environmental Specimen Bank and NASA project (Mars Mission).

Learning outcomes
|
Introduction of students to the selected topics of modern inorganic analysis, namely: (i) collection of samples and their preparation for analysis, (ii) introduction to methodology, (iii) the most effective instrumental techniques, (iv) special topics: trace analysis, speciation analysis , eco-analysis, green analytical chemistry, robotic instrumental analysis. With this choice, the subject also guarantees students' awareness of all modern trends and the potential future direction of instrumental inorganic analysis.
Graduates of the course will gain an overview about instrumental inorganic analysis, including information on the latest research results achieved at the Department of Analytical Chemistry as a part of specialized teaching or when solving research projects.
