Course content
Techniques of, mostly chromatography-related, modern analytical separation and quantification methods are presented.
Topics presented are a.o. chromatographic theory, including the solvation parameter model of retention; some advanced aspects of liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC); 2-dimensional chromatography (coupled methods chromatography-chromatography); 'tandem techniques' based on on-line coupling of separation methods and spectrometry; mass spectrometry, with focus on applications in connection with analytical separation methods.
Other relevant topics can be included, such as capillary electromigration separation methods, supercritical fluid chromatography, stereoisomer separation and preparative chromatography techniques. Students choose two of them for self-studying, as an elective part of the final examination.
Laboratory exercises apply some of these concepts, a.o. an on-line coupled method. Exercises provide the possibility for some repetition of basic concepts, discussions of relevant applications from current research papers and presentation of special topics.
This course has nearly the same content as, and is taught together with, KJ3059, except for the project work included in KJ8059, and some additional reading matter.
Learning outcome
At the end of the course a student should have:
- acquired the knowledge to explain the principles of a wide range of modern analytical methods of separation and quantitation;
- also knowledge about practical and technical aspects of these methods, and for some of them to have some experience with them at an advanced level;
- acquired knowledge on Quality Control and validation in connection with planning and performing chemical analyses;
- acquired the skills to evaluate strengths and limitations of different separation and detection techniques with respect to sample properties and to specific analytical problems;
- acquired the skills to find, choose and plan the use of suitable analytical separation techniques for actual advanced analytical problems based on a sound knowledge of the potentially relevant methods;
- acquired the skills to judge the quality of his/her own, or others', analytical results from analytical separation methods, and to evaluate the chosen operational procedures;
- acquired the skills to find, understand, and if necessary adapt to own requirements, published procedures, e.g. to locally available technical resources or to more modern practices;
- acquired the skills to use advanced analytical methods of separation and quantitation in an effective and reasonable way after only a minimum of practical teaching;
- acquired the general competence to deal with problems to be addressed and activities within the subfield of the course in an independent way;
- acquired the general competence to communicate and disseminate basic and/or technical knowledge in the subject area comprehensibly and adequately;
- acquired the general competence to independently update and expand his/her knowledge in an advanced area of science.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures (3 hours per week), exercises (1 hour per week), laboratory exercises (40 hours) and project work (25 hours). All laboratory exercise reports as well as the project work report must be approved in order to get access to the final examination. HSE instruction will be given to students that have not received such chromatography-specific information earlier (e.g. in KJ2053). This instruction is a prerequisite to get access to the lab. course. It is given before start-up of the laboratory activities, typically in October (time to be agreed on). nglish teaching by request. When lectures and exercises are given in English, the examination text can be given in English only (it is allowed answers in a Scandinavian language). For re-sit exam or exam during a term without lectures in this course, written examination may be changed to oral examination.
Compulsory assignments
- Approved laboratory exercises
- Approved project work
Further on evaluation
In case of a re-sit examination only the written exam is to be repeated.
Specific conditions
Exam registration requires that class registration is approved in the same semester. Compulsory activities from previous semester may be approved by the department.
Recommended previous knowledge
It is strongly recommended that the students have a sound basic knowledge of chromatography, e.g. KJ2053 or equivalent, and Organic Chemistry, including some course laboratory experience. It is also advantageous with a basic knowledge of organic spectroscopy, e.g. KJ2022 (Spectroscopic Methods in Organic Chemistry) or equivalent.
Course materials
To be announced by us at the beginning of the course (possibly: C. F. Poole, The essence of chromatography, 1.edn., 2003, Elsevier, but also additional and/or alternative reading matter).
