Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified, Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the possibility of using basic analytical methods in the field of monitoring and control of chemical technology processes.
Students will acquire knowledge and skills in the application especially of instrumental analytical methods in the field of monitoring of chemical-technological processes. They will get acquainted with specific procedures of determination of aggregate indicators in the evaluation of technological and sewage plants waters and simultaneously with procedures of determination of selected substances or groups of substances important both in terms of chemical-technological operations and in terms of possible adverse impacts of chemical production on the environment.
Prerequisites
Completion of courses of basic analytical chemistry and instrumental analytical chemistry in the scope of bachelor study.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Student performance assessment

Computational written exam, oral theoretical exam, active work on seminars, laboratory protocols.
