Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for the specific course. For an unimpeded class work prospective students are expected to a) have good background knowledge of Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, and b) possess creative vision. Knowledge of a foreign language is necessary.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course the students should be able to
• have global knowledge on fundamental concepts (basic principles) linked to principal classes of reactions and raw materials used in industrial chemical production and management of reactions associated with important industrial materials
• account for industrial production and use of important inorganic compounds (from acids to fertilizers), and provide examples of the properties of derived substances-materials from a social perspective – environment, use and resources
• evaluate the importance of Industrial Chemistry in contemporary chemical engineering.
• develop critical perception on judgment and sensitivity to problems connected with safety and environmental sustainability.
• analyze simplified chemical processes (kinetics, thermodynamics, mass and energy balances) involving reagent treatment, reactivity, product separation and purification, and to evaluate dangerous and flammable reaction mixtures processes.
• acquire experimental skills on key laboratory scale processes linked to data collection and treatment, assembly of scientific lab reports on industrial processes. Emphasis is given on parameterization of factors contributing to the design and experimental analysis of simple experimental and theoretical approaches to studying reactions linked to diagnostics and production of key inorganic substances.
General Competences
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Work autonomously
- Generate new research ideas
- Design and manage projects
- Respect natural environment
