Annotation -
The course will provide students with detailed information regarding the use of instrumental separation (chromatographic) and spectral (UV, FTIR, MS) techniques for the analysis of complex sample matrices. Attention is paid to general aspects of analysis of raw materials, fractions and products with which it is possible to meet in the processing, distrubution and use of fossil and renewable fuels (biofuels). Attention is also paid to the analysis of fuel contaminants in the environment.

Students will be able to:

Understand the wide range of separation and spectroscopy methods for chemical analysis of different types of complex hydrocarbon samples.

Propose a rational treatment process and final analysis of real fuel materials, fractions and products.

Identify the major components of complex hydrocarbon samples.
