The course expands knowledge of theoretical principles and, in particular, the practical application of selected separation and spectroscopic methods that are applicable for the characterization of conventional and alternative fuels. The course is divided into two basic blocks. In the first block, individual methods of fuel analysis will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on expanding the theoretical and practical knowledge of various analytical methods acquired in the previous years of study. The second block will focus on applying selected analytical techniques in the analysis of conventional and alternative fuels. After completing the course, students will be able to easily navigate the issue of analyzing conventional and alternative fuels. They will understand in detail the principles of individual analytical methods, the differences between them, their practical applications and will be able to choose the appropriate analytical method for the intended application.
