Academic Year 2008/2009

  • Teaching Mode: In-person learning (entirely or partially)
  • Campus: Ravenna
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LS) in Environmental and Territorial Sciences (cod. 0542)

Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to give to the students all the tools to study the inorganic pollution in several matrices

by using the most modern experinemtal techniques. To course requires preliminary knowledges in basic inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry
