Qualitative and quantitative parameters of the analytical method choice. Sampling plan design and selection of the best posible methods. Preselection of the analytical samples, methods of sample dissolution and destruction. Stoihiometric calculations in the wet chemistry methods. Absorption and emission spectrometric methods, instrumental optical components. Mass spectrometry methods, Moessbauer spectroscopy, nuclear activation analytical methods. Mineral separation methods. X-ray powder diffraction (factors influencing diffracted beam intensity, unit cell dimensions calculation from powder patterns, powder pattern fitting techniques). X-ray fluorescence analysis (matrix problem and methods for solving it, sample preparation). Electron microscopy (SEM, EBSD, chemical analyisis, electron diffraction).

Learning outcomes:

Knowledge and understanding of the scientific and technical terminology in the domain of analytical chemistry.
Ability to understand specific aspects of analytical methods in chemistry (the problem of analytical precision, significant digits, figures of merit).
Ability to analyse the results of chemical analysis by statistical means.
Capability of performing classical silicate analysis.
Knowledge and understanding of factors influencing the measured parameters on X-ray powder pattern and related ability to overcome possible problems.
