Learning outcomes
|
Students will be able to orient and to discuss in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. The students will be also able to stand-alone solution in the field of the heterogeneous catalytic reactions.
Student should be able to know the basic concepts of heterogeneous catalysis. Student should be able to understand and to solve the problems such as the kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions, characterization of catalysts, the preparation of catalysts and the utilization of heterogeneous catalytic reactions.
