Brief syllabus:
The course consists of the following topics: development of biosphere pollution and global trends in countries at different stages of economic development. The global trends of biosphere pollution in respect to varied stages of economic development. The origin and structure of chemical substances in soil, water and air contaminants. The characteristics of factors determining the transport of substances in the environment including physical and chemical transformations, the longevity of substances in different layers of geosphere and biosphere. The physical factors and laws controlling the movement of organic and inorganic substances and radionuclides in the environment including adsorption and distribution equilibriums and kinetics of processes. Further the concept of bioavailability of substances as a determining factor for the application of bioremediation techniques are discussed in this course. The course covers also the physical principles of contamination removal – in-situ and ex-situ technologies, method of “pump and treat”, in-situ volatilization, ventilation of unsaturated zone and multiphase extraction, the chemical principles of precipitation, oxidation, reduction and permeable reactive barriers. |In addition to these chemical principles there other factors that play an important role in remediation such as stabilization and solidification, adsorption and ion exchange, electrochemical processes and remediation of groundwater. The course will focus also on pollution caused by oil products, pesticides and radioactive substances. A special attention will be payed to characterization of phytoremediation methods and case studies that demonstrate the use of remediation technologies in Slovak Republic and in the world. In the end of the course the effectiveness of remediation methods in theory and practice will be discussed as well as economic indicators that limit applicability of remediation technologies.

Compulsory Elective Subjects

University: University of SS. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava	
Faculty: Faculty of Natural Sciences	
Code of the course:	The course: Laboratory Exercises in Organic Chemistry III	
Type, range and methods of educational activities:
Compulsory elective subject
4 hours of laboratory exercises per week. 
Educational activities are performed by attendance method.	
Number of credits: 2	
Recommended semester/trimester of study: 5th semester	
Degree: Bachelor	
Prerequisites: Laboratory Exercises in Organic Chemistry II	
Conditions for completion of the course: 
Mid-semester assessment includes student activity and quality of the performed laboratory assignments (4 points for each assignment, a total of 40 points), amount and quality of prepared products (3 points for each product, a total of 30 points), and a protocol (2 points for each protocol, a total of 20 points). There will be a writing test worth 10 points at the end of the semester. To complete the course successfully, the student must perform all required assignments, submit all protocols and pass the writing test. To receive an A grade, the student must achieve at least 91 % of the points, B – at least 81%, C – at least 71 %, D – at least 61 %, and E – at least 51% of the points. Those students who will achieve less than 51% of the points or do not fulfil the above-mentioned conditions, will not be given the credits.	
Learning outcomes: 
After a successful completion of the course, the students will:
-	have skills acquired in the preceding laboratory exercises,
-	be capable to perform multi-stage syntheses of complex organic compounds and use more complex laboratory techniques, such as distillation under a lowered pressure and azeotropic distillation,
-	be acquainted with the technique of working with small amounts.	
Brief syllabus: 
The programme of laboratory exercises comprises multi-stage syntheses, such as preparation of 2-hydroxy-4-methyl quinoline from aniline, preparation of butanedioic acid diethyl ester from oxolane, preparation of 4-bromoacetaniline from aniline, preparation of 4-benzylidene-2-fenyloxazol-5(4H)-one from benzyl chloride. The programme also contains assignments in which students determine the structure of resulting products based on the pre-measured elemental analysis, infrared spectrum, and 1H NMR spectrum. These assignments include the reaction of cyclohexanone with morpholine, reaction of acetophenone with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and reaction of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde with 1,2-ethandiol.
