The course will provide a comprehensive overview of the process of obtaining analytical (chemical) data from geomaterials (rock, soil, water ...).
Samples and their processing before (chemical) analysis.
The most common types of decompositions (mineralizations) for geomaterials.
The types of instrumental techniques for determination of trace elements in geomaterials.
Specific work in the laboratory on selected decomposition technique / instrumentation (approx. 16 hrs / 2-3 days).
