Fundamental aspects of sampling in chemical and instrumental analysis - Types of samples; classical sampling methods, sampling vs. modern analysis. Sample decomposition by classical methods - Wet digestions: digestion in acids and their mixtures; dry decomposition (melting).Modern digestion methods and their role in chemical and instrumental analysis - High pressure ashing, microwave digestion, dry ashing techniques: classification, principles, instrumentation, and typical applications. Introduction to the methodology - Analytical procedure, technique and method; optimisation of experimental conditions and parameters; method verification; certified reference materials. Selected aspects of data processing - Collection, interpretation, and evaluation of data; Evaluation and presentation of results. Some new trends in inorganic analysis - Modern laboratory; trace analysis; speciation and differentiation analysis.

Learning outcomes
|
This course prescribed / recommended for advanced students allows them to be introduced into the problematics of inorganic material sampling and a pretreatment of typical specimens with the aid of both classical and modern methods of sample decomposition. Presented are the principles and instrumentation of widely used methods (e.g., microwave-assisted digestion, dry ashing, or matrix destruction by oxidative gas mixtures), possible strategies in optimisation procedures and choice of instrumental techniques for inorganic analysis. Also, of interest are some aspects of interpretation, evaluation, and verification of experimental data, including the and latest trends in presentation of the results. The individual topics are trained on a series of practical examples, reflecting actual problems and modern analytical approaches.
Students will acquire basic overview about possibilities and major trends in modern analysis of inorganic species and related materials.
