Hours of instruction:

Weekly: four hours of lectures + two hours of exercises + three hours of labwork (4+2+3)

Goals:

The aim of the course is to Õxpand knowledge and critical understanding of basic principles of green analytical chemistry as one of the most recent branches of chemistry. The course allows students to gain knowledge of recent achievements in green analytical chemistry, sustainability, use of environmentally friendly solvents and reagents, energy efficiency, and miniaturization in analytical chemistry.

Outcome:

Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to: independently plan and modify analytical methods and techniques to meet the basic principles of green chemistry and environmental impact risk assessment as well as indicate importance environmental sustainability.

Teaching methods:

Lectures, lab work, seminar papers.
