Subject description
Development and application of photocatalytic materials in health sciences (TiO2 materials, AOMs, disinfection procedures).
The subject is taught in programs
Objectives and competences
The main objective of the course is to convey to students recent advances ob application of photocatalitic materials in health sciences.
Competences: knowledge on the transformation of organic and inorganic compounds with different chemical structure and on photocalytic processes.
Teaching and learning methods
- lectures
- Individual project work
- Presentation and interpretation of results of project work to the other students in open discussion
- Journal club – discussion of published research articles on selected topics (critical evaluation of scientific literature, presentation of the "case studies")
Expected study results
Knowledge and understanding:
photocatalytic trasfrotmations (they understand degradation processes of pollutants in the environment with the application of semicinductors and UV irradiation), on novel analytical methods (spectroscopic, electrochemical, separation, radioanalytical, biochemical, continuous automated methods).
