Advanced Separation Sciences

Course manual 2017/2018

Course content

In this course a number of separation methods will be discussed more in depth compared to the compulsory Separation Sciences course. Techniques discussed will be:

• electrophoretic methods;
• separation methods for macromolecules (e.g. FFF);
• gradient LC;
• multidimensional separations (GCxGC and LCxLC).

Study materials

Literature

• Will be made available on Blackboard

Syllabus

Other

• Hand-outs, tutorials and review articles.

Objectives

By the end of this course students will:

• comprehend the scientific principles underlying key separation techniques: electrophoresis, field flow fractionation and multidimensional chromatographic techniques.
• be able to apply this knowledge to determine the key experimental parameters required to optimise the aforementioned separation techniques.
• be able to describe applications suitable to each aforementioned separation technique.
• apply knowledge of the practical application of some of these separation techniques through guided demonstration experiments.
