Course content
The subject extends knowledge of reaction kinetics of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, description of transport processes of solid catalyzed reactions, solid phase-liquid non-catalytic reactions, and deactivation of the catalyst, gas-liquid reactions and modeling of batch, plug flow and continuous stirred reactors. Further, it deals with the study of character of the flow in fluidized-bed and multiphase reactors. Solved problems are part of the study.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
As part of the course, students will be introduced to the applications of the latest knowledge related to chemical kinetics, thermodynamics and hydrodynamics, the science of heat and mass sharing in the design and calculations of chemical reactors.
Students are able to accurately identify the essence of individual operations, analyze and synthesize whole process systems in engineering terms, and are familiar with methods that enable effective transfer and interpretation of laboratory test results into industrial practice.
Prerequisites
Completed master's degree in chemistry and chemical-technology study programs.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Oral exam. The basic form of the exam is a discussion of the selected circuits.
