Syllabus
  • Experiment in geology. Observation and data collecting. The development of theories and hypotheses. Models. Experiment. Geochemical experiments.

    Preparation of solids for experiment. Crushing, grinding, sieving fractions, separation, homogenization.

    Surface of minerals and rocks. The ageing and cleaning of surfaces (sonic, magnetic, by decantation, by dissolving of superfine particles), relaxation of surface defects, influence on dissolution kinetics, measurement and estimation of surface area, BET method.

    Preparation of experimental solutions. Concentration, activity, ionic strenght, buffers, ionexchangers

    Transport of liquids. Hydrostatic reservoirs, peristaltic pumps, "buble" transport

    Measurement of parameters. Electrodes for pH and Eh measurement, ion-selective electrodes, electrochemical and spectral methods.

    Detectors. Refractometric, high-frequency, polarographic, conductivity, optical, spectral, and spectrophotometrical detectors.

    Reactors. Batch and flow-through reactors, features and behavior, block diagrams, designing of apparatus.

    Construction constituents and materials. Glass, plasts, ceramics, metals, properties, prices.

    Modeling of processes in reactors. Thermodynamic and kinetic models, computer and numeric modeling.

    Landscape-experiments. Kinetic experiments, mass balance in drainage.

    High-temperature experiments. Materials, technical possibilities, attainable temperatures.
