Výstupy z učení
|
Learning the basic concepts of industrial catalytic processes, which will help students in their future careers in industry or academia. Topics will cover well-established standard processes currently in use, as well as new processes (future trends) emerging in the industry. Examples include petroleum refining, pharmaceutical drug production, sulfuric acid manufacturing, and catalytic air pollutant removal.
After studying catalytic processes, a student will acquire the following basic theoretical skills: Data Analysis: Analyze and interpret data related to catalysis. Problem Identification: Identify and define issues in catalytic processes. Experimental Design: Design experiments to test catalytic hypotheses. Reactor Modeling: Understand and model different types of reactors. Critical Evaluation: Evaluate and improve existing catalytic processes. Sustainability Understanding: Recognize the environmental impacts of catalysis.
