Introduction to Chemical Purification

Catalog description

We are all continually surrounded by chemicals, from drugs to plastics and from fuel to food additives. Ensuring these materials are free of dangerous contaminants is essential for human health and development. This course will introduce students to the most important techniques for purifying and analyzing chemicals. We will use what we have learned in the classroom to isolate a number of different molecules in the lab, from nylon to inorganic materials of eye-catching color.
