Course content
Physico-chemical principles of electrochemical reactions, electrochemical cell. Electroanalytical methods (potentiometry, polarography, voltammetry, amperometry, coulometry) and their applications in flow systems, combination with separation techniques. Practical use of electroanalytical methods in the area of environmental protection. Current trends in electroanalytical chemistry ((bio)sensors). Modern application possibilities of processes of technical electrochemistry in practice. Utilization of electrochemistry in environmental protection focusing on processing of technological and waste water. Production and storage of electrical energy - galvanic cells, accumulators, fuel cells.
