Indicative Content
Analytical Techniques and Procedures
General approach to analytical procedures. Steps in analytical analysis. Representative sampling, sample preparation, analysis and interpretation of results. Systematic error and random error. Precision and accuracy. Measurement uncertainty.
Spectroscopic Methods
Properties of light. Electromagnetic spectrum. Absorption of light. Beers Law. Absorption Spectra and colour. Spectrometer - good operating techniques. Applications of Beers' Law. Principles of atomic absorption and flame emission spectroscopy, sample treatment, use of standards. Interferences standard addition methods applications. Infra-red spectroscopy sample preparation care and maintenance of cells. Identification of compounds using correlation charts
Separation and Chromatographic Techniques
Separation and Chromatographic Techniques: Principles of absorption, partition, ion exchange, molecular and affinity chromatography. Chromatogram description. Theoretical plates. Resolution selectivity. Gas liquid chromatography. High performance liquid chromatography. Methods of separation. Mobile and stationary places. Columns detectors solvents. Sample preparation. Qualitative and quantitative measurements. Internal standards. Ion chromatography. Solvent extraction
The Brewing and Distilling industry
Introduction to analytical techniques in brewing and distilling. Basic calculations.
Practical
Practicals will develop skills in the use of analytical equipment and techniques from , HPLC, GC, and UV-Vis and ion chromatography. The practicals covered will reinforce and amplify the material covered in the lecture course. The use of updated software, e.g. EMPOWER for HPLC and PROBE for UV-Vis will be used also.
