Chromatographic Analysis in the Quality System of Analytical Process in the Department of Analytical Chemistry of The Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology

Bez analitičke kemije nemoguće je zamisliti napredak mnogih područja ljudske djelatnosti. Spomenuti značaj ove grane kemije jedan je od glavnih razloga uspješnog opstanka i kontinuiranog razvoja Zavoda za analitičku kemiju unutar jednog tehničkog fakulteta, kao što je današnji Fakultet kemijskog inženjerstva i tehnologije (FKIT) Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Dinamičnost razvoja analitičke kemije bila je neprestani poticaj nastavnicima Zavoda za prilagođavanjem svjetskim trendovima i sustavnim unaprjeđenjem nastavnog programa i istraživačkog rada. Početak nastavnog, znanstvenog, ali i stručnog djelovanja Zavoda temeljio se na klasičnim metodama analize, no potaknuta razvojem moderne analitičke opreme ubrzo se intenzivirala primjena brojnih kemijskih i fizikalno-kemijskih metoda analize, od kojih je danas najzastupljenija kromatografija. Naime, konac dvadesetog stoljeća ubrzanim je razvojem instrumentalnih tehnika, uvođenjem računala i činjenicom da su podatci analitičkih mjerenja postali temelj odlučivanja u medicini, zaštiti okoliša, razvoju materijala te osiguravanju kvalitete procesa i proizvoda, dao novi uzlet analitičkoj kemiji, a osobit procvat doživjela je kromatografija kao idealna tehnika za višekomponentnu analizu analita u tragovima.

The aforementioned importance of this chemistry branch is one of the main reasons for the successful survival and continued development of the Department of analytical chemistry within a technical faculty, such as is the present-day Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology (FCET) University of Zagreb. The dynamics of the development of analytical chemistry was a constant encouragement to the teachers of the Department to adapt to world trends, and systematically improve the curriculum and research work. The beginning of the teaching, the scientific, as well as the professional activities of the Department of Analytical Chemistry was based on classical methods of analysis. However, stimulated by the development of modern analytical equipment, the application of numerous chemical and physicochemical methods of analysis was intensified, of which the most common being chromatography. Namely, the end of the twentieth century accelerated the development of instrumental techniques, the introduction of computers, and the fact that analytical measurement data became the basis of decision-making in medicine, environmental protection, material development, and assuring the quality of processes and products gave rise to analytical chemistry, especially chromatography, which is an ideal technique for multicomponent trace analyte analysis.
