Analysis Applied to Sustainable Processes and Industrial Products

Complement the analytical techniques learned in the two fundamental analytical chemistry courses with knowledge of industrially relevant analytical methods.
Detail the instrumental analysis techniques, whose theoretical principles and basic operational procedures are known, through a selection of methods and protocols of applied interest, particularly in the industrial field:
- Analysis/monitoring/treatment of various types of industrial water (reagent/medium, process fluid, wastewater).
- Control/treatment of various types of industrial emissions (gaseous emissions/liquid effluents/solid residues).
- Quality and/or process control in major industrial productions (e.g., in the pharmaceutical/cosmetic, agri-food, textile, polymer and plastics, electrochemical/metallurgical sectors).
- Assessment and management of chemical and environmental risks associated with complex industrial processes, focusing on the identification of potential contamination sources.

- Achieve a more mature understanding of analytical strategies and protocols, particularly considering cases involving real and/or more complex matrices than those covered in basic courses.
- Complement the basic knowledge of the most important analytical techniques with elements of analysis relevant to industrial applications.
- Expand (in terms of case studies and detail) the knowledge of applied analytical cases, with particular attention to those of industrial interest.
- Acquire knowledge, through the study of real model cases, of the roles and working methods of the analytical chemist in industry (research and development, quality control, process control, certification/accreditation).
