Learning Outcomes
The course aims at transferring integrated and simultaneously targeted knowledge to the kinetics of chemical and biochemical processes. The basic nature of this knowledge outlines the scope of applications in enzymatic and non-enzymatic processes. Since kinetics is a key factor of understanding a multitude of catalytic processes in research and industry, the deepening and consolidation of the principles that govern it are the cornerstones of developing critical thinking in the investigation of (bio) chemical (anti) actions. The combination of theoretical knowledge, applications in chemical engineering and simulation of chemical kinetic reactions through modeling constitute an integrated experience for the graduate student in (bio) chemical engineering
