Gas chromatography and hyphenated techniques 0600-PS-AOS-GC
Lecture:
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with the theoretical overview and possible to use for gas chromatography and related techniques in chemical analysis application. The lecture content includes theoretical and practical aspects of GC use.
Lecture topics:
Gas chromatography an overview.
GC apparatus part I (gases, ovens, dispensers, flow regulators, selection data station).
Optimization of GC separation process (flow, temperature gradient, qualitative and quantitative analysis - Kováts'a indexes).
GC apparatus part II (detectors).
Mass spectrometry principles.
GC/MS as a qualitative and quantitative method for compounds identifications.
MS/MS hyphenations.
Hyphenated techniques in environmental analysis.
Selective dosage (GCxGC, PTI/GC, LC-GC, GC-LC-CZE, GC-FTIR/MS, LC-MS, CZE-MS, GC-AED).
Laboratory classes:
GC / MS qualitative and quantitative analysis;
Separation process optimization (temperature and pressure gradient);
Gas chromatography evaluation of quality and applicability for retention parameters determination;
Detector’s selection (FID, ECD, DELCD, PID).

Learning outcomes
Student - graduate student:
1. identifies and distinguish between issues related to the classes topic;
2. are able to find and use the required literature in English and Polish;
3. are using, applying and explaining the subject terminology related
to the study issues (not using laboratory slang) in English
and its counterparts in Polish;
4. are applying in practice the theoretical knowledge how to operate
by the apparatus and small laboratory equipment in a correct and proper way as well. Making self measurements based on the knowledge he/she gained;
5. preparing their own preparations for analysis, creating analytical procedures and standard procedures;
6. independently examines, interprets and calculates the results obtained
in the laboratory. Applying the appropriate analytical procedures. Preparing writing research reports and notes, which may be the useful for issuing the scientific publications;
7. compares, explains and describes obtained results in comparison with the available standards and literature. Predicting behavior and probable scenarios in the laboratory during sample preparation as well as the same study (e.g. principles of health and safety in the workplace).
Assessment criteria
The pass mark class is attendance at lectures and active participation, knowledge of analytical procedures is required for proper implementation
of the exercise-laboratory analysis.
Course assessment is based on the frequency and participation in the classes as well as receiving a positive evaluation at an oral, final exam.
