Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with modern methods of production of inorganic materials, especially medium and small tonnage production, production of inorganic materials for specific purposes (catalysts, energy storage materials, hydrogels, special inorganic pigments) and legislation in the chemical industry (REACH).
Completion of the course expands students' knowledge in the field of production of inorganic specialties and in the field of chemical legislation.
Prerequisites
The study requires knowledge at the level of a bachelor's degree in chemistry (chemical technology).
