COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Advanced UV-Vis Spectrophotometric Analysis. It covers the principles of UV-Vis spectrophotometry including light sources, monochromators and wavelength selection; the sample preparation, spectral data acquisition and processing; the standardization and calibration in UV-Vis analysis; the applications of UV-Vis spectrophotometry; the advanced absorption spectra analysis and derivative UV-Vis spectroscopy; and the multi-component analysis and UV-Vis method validation.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the kinetic and time-resolved UV-Vis spectroscopy and detecting impurities in petroleum products; the UV-Vis spectroscopy in environmental compliance; the spectrophotometric determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH); the UV-Vis for catalysis and refining process control; the automation and high-throughput UV-Vis spectroscopy; the common errors and troubleshooting in UV-Vis analysis; the advanced data processing, interpretation and comparative analysis with other spectroscopic methods; and the emerging applications in UV-Vis spectroscopy and regulatory compliance and industry standards.
