B1725 - ANALISI CHIMICA E IMPATTO AMBIENTALE

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand the principles that define analytical chemistry as a “problem-solving” discipline. They will be capable of identifying the most appropriate methodologies for solving basic analytical problems and of presenting and evaluating experimental data using statistical procedures. Moreover, the student will be able to understand standard operating procedures (SOPs), draft an analysis certificate, and will have acquired fundamental knowledge of environmental chemistry relevant to understanding the sustainability of processes and materials.

Course contents

Fundamentals of Quantitative Analytical Chemistry: Classical and Instrumental Methods; Environmental Analysis: Physico-Chemical Parameters, Pollutants, and Quality Indicators; Basic Statistics Applied to Experimental Data; Introduction to Sensors and Biosensors: Physical Principles, Transduction, and Environmental Applications; Sustainability in Analytical Processes: Green Principles, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and Material Impact

Readings/Bibliography

Lecture notes will be made available online by the teacher. For further study, the following are recommended:

D. C. Harris, Chimica Analitica Quantitativa, Zanichelli
D. Harvey, Modern Analytical Chemistry, McGraw-Hill
S. Arnaldo, Chimica Ambientale e Sostenibilità, UTETP. Rasooly, M.A. Trudil -Biosensors and Modern Biospecific Analytical Techniques - Humana Press (Springer)

Teaching methods

Lectures are delivered in a traditional format and make use of both slides (as visual support) and the blackboard (traditional or electronic) for demonstrations and examples.

A seminar with experts in the fields of photovoltaics and energy storage may be included.

Practical exercises and the preparation of a written report, to be discussed during the exam, are also part of the course.

 

Assessment methods

The assessment of learning is carried out through an oral examination.

 

Teaching tools

Blackboard (traditional or electronic) and video projector.
