ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 3.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language: Polish
Type of course:

obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):

Courses on high resolution gas chromatography are offered aimed to broaden understanding of the trace analysis of organic pollutants in the environment (air, water, soil), also gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique, and sampling methods are covered
Mode:

Classroom
Short description:

His course is focused on the use of capillary gas chromatography in the environmental trace analysis. The course will include the sample preparation methods.
Full description:

1. Capillary gas chromatography: separation mechanism, interaction in solution, stationary phases, retention index, signal separation, capillary columns, temperature programming, detectors, qualitative and quantitative analysis.

2. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry: mass spectrometry basics, ionization methods, high resolution and quadrupole spectrometers, qualitative analysis using GC/MS, single ion monitoring (SIM), tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS), solving a structure using mass spectrometry.

3. Sampling and sample preparation prior to chromatographic analysis: (i) air: whole air sampling, adsorptive sample enrichment, cryogenic sampling, analytes recovery; (ii) water: sampling, liquid-liquid extraction, solid phase extraction (SPE and SPME), head space analysis; (iii) soil: preparation of soil samples, Soxhlet extraction,, sample clean up and enrichment. Uncertainty in environmental analysis
