Course objectives

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the theoretical principles, practical work and the use of instrumental techniques and procedures relating to the process analysis. The choice of method will depend on the knowledge of the basic principles of individual method or group of methods and the understanding of their advantages and limitations.
