Course content
Mineral resources in the Czech Republic and the world mineral resource base with regard to inorganic industry in the Czech Republic. Treatment of mineral resource: disintegration of solid particles, crushing and grinding, size separation of particulate solids, separation according to kind of material (concentration), flotation. Transfer in chemical Industry: transfer of solids and conveyors, fluid (liquid and gas) transfers, fluid (liquid and gas) transport equipment. Separation operations (processing): settling (sedimentation), filtration and equipment for filtration, centrifugation and centrifuges. Heat operations (processing): theoretical fundament of heat transfer, heat exchangers and heating possibility, evaporation, drying. Diffusion operations (processing): gas absorption.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to create a comprehensive knowledge of possible procedures for the processing of minerals and industrial products. Individual methods of treatment of minerals, semi-finished products and products are practiced in the form of seminars.
The students of the course will gain the necessary knowledge about the methods of processing minerals. Students are able to decide on the choice of technological equipment and perform basic calculations.
Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Home assignment evaluation

The oral exam is supplemented by the processing of given examples. The basic form of the exam is a discussion on a selected topic. The level of acquired knowledge, concepts and application skills is examined.
