 Objectives Knowing how to analyze the materials consting of the Earth & being familiar with handling varieties of Lab. apparatuses  Course Outlines Lecture + Lab. Work Lecture: Theoretical (not always corresponds to the Lab. Work) Lab. Work: Project based, mostly analysis work

 Grading  From A+ to D0  Absolute based grading  Total score = 0.3(ME+FE+LE)+0.1(Attendance)  Absence >1/3 of legitimate attendance  ‘F’  Prerequisites?  None, but any knowledge on analytical chem. will certainly help

Week # Lecture Contents 1Introduction: What is geochemical analysis (GA)? Past, present, and future. 2Basics of GA 1: Classification, terms & definitions, statistical evaluation. 3Basics of GA 2: Quality estimation, Lab. safety, appratuses frequently used. 4Sample collection & treatment 1: What to consider before sampling? Water sampling. 5Sample collection & treatment 2: Soil, rock, and others 6On-site measurements 1: Reasons for on-site measuring, pH, E H, 7On-site measurements 2: Conductivity, alkalinity, and estimation of CO3 8Midterm examination 9Decomposition of samples: Dissolution w/ acids & fusion with salts 10Basics of instrumental analysis: Advant. & disadvant., types, general instrumentation 11Spectroscopy 1: Basics of spectroscopy, wavelengths & analytical phenomena 12Spectroscopy 2: Absorption & emission, UV-VIS, AAS, ICP 13Mass-spectrometry: Principles of mass-spectrometry, ICP-MS, GC-MS, SIRMS 14Other analytical instruments: IC, XRD, XRF, EPMA 15Final examination

 A notebook having the records of everything what you do and what happens during your laboratory work (experiments).  Pagenation first  Use permanent ink pens (never use erasers, make strikeouts where you need cancel the records).  Never tear out a page.  The first page is better be empty and the table of contents should be on the 2 nd page.  After the experiments each week, each should submit this Lab. note to TA for evaluation.
