TFKI11 Chemometrics, 3 ECTS credits.
/Kemometri/

For:   KA   Kem  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 30
Rec. self-study hours: 50

  Area of Education: Science

Main field of studies: Chemistry, Chemical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
The overall aim of the course is to give the students theoretical and practical knowledge on how to apply experimental design (Chemometrics) in order to efficiently plan, perform and evaluate chemical experiments.

After completion of the course the students should be able to:

  • Plan, conduct and evaluate screening experiments in order to identify design variables that affect response variables of interest. This part includes Factorial and Fractional factorial designs.
  • Plan, conduct and evaluate experiments with the aim to optimise design variables with respect to one or several response variables. This part includes response surface modelling (Central Composite Design), Simplex optimisation and the Gradient method.
  • Apply commericial Chemometrical software in order to plan and evaluate screening and optimisation experiments.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Statistical Tools for Chemical Analysis or Calculation tools for chemistry students

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course consists of theoretical lectures and computer exercises in which the theory is applied in practice.

Course contents:
Experimental design, Screening designs, Optimisation designs, Design and analysis of such models, regression methods, optimisation of chemical analysis and processes.

Course literature:
Miller, J.N. and Miller, J.C., Statistics and Chemometrics for Analytical Chemistry

Examination:
Project work with oral and written presentation
3 ECTS
