Learning outcomes
|
The subject aims to familiarize students with the essence of catalytic processes, the preparation of industrial catalysts and the evaluation of their physical, chemical and catalytic properties. By completing the subject, the student will gain knowledge about the deactivation and regeneration of catalysts, about catalytic reactors, and will be presented with examples of applications of catalytic processes in industrial processes.
After completing the course, the student is able to orient himself in the theory of reactors, the kinetics of catalyzed reactions, the preparation and assessment of the properties of catalysts, and has a basic overview of important catalyzed processes in industry.
