Current Trends in the Analysis of Inorganic Materials (shortened) - Sampling: Classifocation pf samples, transport and storage / preservation of samples. - Decomposition and preparation of samples using special instrumentation: High-pressure ashing (HPA). Microwave mineralization (MWD). Decompositions by (super)oxidizing gases. Instrumentation and examples of the use of specific mineralization methods. UV-irradiation and ultrasound ("sonication") pretreatments. - Instrumental techniques in modern inorganic analysis: Ion chromatography (IC), Electrochemical stripping analysis (ESA), Analysis of samples in the solid state [X-ray analysis, solid phase electrochemistry], 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: Classification of samples. Modern instrumental techniques (see above) and their characterization for environmental analysis. - Green analytical chemistry: Possibilities and limitations: four basic aspects in confrontation with individual types of instrumental measurements (with examples based on analytical separation and electroanalysis). - Trace analysis Trace and ultra-trace concentration / content, contaminated vs. contaminated samples. concentrations / content and mutual conversion. Specifics of trace analysis: very low concentrations of analytes, sample treatments, real matrix effect. Use of modern techniques (with examples). - Speciation analysis: Classification and form of individual forms of the same substance / element (with examples). Specifics of sample collection and processing. Inorganic speciation analysis of ions, complexes and selected compounds of Hg, Pb, Sn, As, Se, Cr and J. Application of instrumental measurements (examples). - Interdisciplinary scientific research projects and possibilities of modern inorganic analysis in solving tasks of strategic importance and requiring wider cooperation of scientific disciplines and fields. International programs: Intermorgeo, Environmental Specimen Banking and NASA project: Mars Mission.

Learning outcomes
|
Introducing the students to selected topics of modern inorganic analysis, namely: (i) recent advances in collecting samples and their microwave mineralization, (ii) trace analysis, (iii) speciation analysis, (iv) eco-analysis and green analytical chemistry, (v) robotic instrumental analysis. By this selection, students are guaranteed to be informed about all modern trends and the future prospects of inorganic analysis.
Graduates of the course will gain an overview of modern instrumental inorganic analysis, including information on the latest results achieved at the Department of Analytical Chemistry as a part of specialized teaching or when solving research projects.
