Course content

Techniques of modern analytical separation and quantification methods are presented, including capillary electromigration methods, 2-dimensional chromatography, 'tandem techniques' based on on-line coupling of separation methods and spectroscopy, laboratory-scale preparative chromatography, method development concepts for gas and liquid chromataography, the solvation parameter model of retention.
This course has the same content and is taught together with KJ8058.

Learning outcome

To acquire a sound knowledge of separation techniques based on chromatography and related methods, and thereby provide the basis to selecting and applying adequate analytical techniques in qualitative and quantitative analyses of complex mixtures of substances.

The number of credits are reduced with 7,5 for KJ8058Reduction in number of credits (studiepoeng, sp): The number of credits are reduced with 7,5 if a theme which corresponds to KJ3058 is chosen within a specialization course in organic chemistry (TKJ4525).

Learning methods and activities

Guidede self-study, colloquia.
Projects or laboratory exercises (optional) and presentation and discussion of relevant published material may be a part of the course. English teaching by request.

Recommended previous knowledge

It is strongly recommended that the students have a basic knowledge of chromatography, e.g. KJ2053 (Chromatography) or equivalent, and adavantageous with a basic knowledge of organic spectroscopy, e.g. KJ2022 (Spectroscopic Methods in Organic Chemistry) or equivalent.
