Area: Department of Chemistry
Credits: 25.0
Contact Hours: 5.5
TUITION PATTERNS: The tuition pattern provides details of the types of classes and their duration. This is to be used as a guide only. Precise information is included in the unit outline.
Lecture: 2 x 1 Hours Weekly
Science Laboratory: 1 x 3 Hours Weekly
Workshop: 1 x 1 Hours Fortnightly
Equivalent(s): 315038 (v.1) Chemical Analysis for Water Quality 500 or any previous version
UNIT REFERENCES, TEXTS, OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT DETAILS: The most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes, will be provided in the unit outline.
Syllabus: The ability to identify and quantify a wide range of chemical species, often at trace or ultra-trace levels, is essential for the appropriate management of water quality. Often these analyses are required for regulatory purposes and hence must be proven to reliable. Topics to be covered in this unit include: data quality objectives and sampling for water quality measurements; advanced methods for the analysis of oxidants in water treatment; advanced analytical methods for the determination of trace concentrations of organic compounds in aqueous samples; analytical quality assurance and control in the context of approved water quality chemical measurements.
