Module
19
Analysis/fractionation and speciation of water
samples
For more detailed
information see:
The module introduces the
student to:
�
Sampling strategies
�
Fieldwork with regional sampling of
surface waters in the Oslo region
�
HSE regime at the group of Environmental
Analysis
�
Sample pretreatment for analysis of
major anions and cations
�
Chemical analysis of key environmental parameters
and data quality control
�
Difference between total analysis,
fractionation and speciation
�
Calculations of species in natural
freshwaters using speciation programs
The student is
expected to:
�
Understand how the Health Safety and
Environment (HSE) regime is practiced at the Group of Environmental Analysis
�
Acquire experience of water sampling
from various compartments through the watershed
�
Understand the difference between total
analysis, fractions and species
�
Understand the concept of multiple
simultaneous equilibriums
�
Understand the basic principles of
mobility and toxicity of chemical species
�
Learn how to conduct an Al-fractionation
and have experience from the analysis of major anions and cations
�
Be able to run the MINEQL+ programme
�
Relate to environmental monitoring data
and to write a report where data are evaluated and interpreted.
