CHEM 445 or 545-Instrumental Methods in Chemistry. Analytical methods for the analysis of environmentally significant substances in both trace and macroscopic abundances using modern instrumental methods. Analyses include both desirable and objectional impurities in air and water, such as oxygen in water samples and heavy metal in water, and trace gases and other atmospheric impurities. Emphases in AA and GC-MS with other instruments used as needed. An independent study project, particularly arranged for those working in an analytical testing laboratory.
Emphasis is on utilizing instruments available to the student in the workplace.
