About

About the course

Course content

The specialization consists of modules giving a total sum 7,5 credits. Modules are chosen from the following list:
Environmental catalysis - (3.75 credits).
Heterogeneous catalysis (advanced course).- (3.75 credits).
Industrial colloid chemistry - (3.75 credits).
Reactor modelling - (3.75 credits).
Chemical engineering, special topics - (3.75 credits).
Modules from other specialisations can be chosen given the approval of the coordinator.

Learning outcome

At the end of the course the students should:
- Understand and apply core principles and concepts in heterogeneous catalysis.
- Know the most important catalytic materials, and their functions.
- Describe important applications of heterogeneous catalysts in energy conversion, emissions clean-up, and clean production.
- Evaluate and select catalysts for a range of processes.
- Plan and choose methods for characterization of key properties and the measurement of catalytic activity, selectivity and life-time of heterogeneous catalysts.
- Evaluate the causes of deactivation and propose methods for the regeneration of heterogeneous catalysts.
- The students should be able to find relevant scientific literature, and be able to understand and reproduce the work that has been done.
- The students should be able to report scientific work concisely both orally and in written form.

Learning methods and activities

The modules are given as lectures, seminars, excercises, self-study.
