Course content
Carbon materials used industrially will be treated with emphasis on fundamental principles and properties that have given carbon its broad industrial application. Lectures will cover raw materials, the carbonization process, graphitization, characterization of carbon materials, oxidation processes, carbon electrodes in metallurgical and electrometallurgical industry, active carbon, carbon black, intercalation compounds, fullerenes, and graphen. Lectures will also cover areas of carbon science and technology that more recently have resulted in great scientific activity, like the use of carbon as electrode material in Li-ion batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells.
Learning outcome
The course will provide an introduction to carbon science, technology and materials. The most important fundamental principles will be covered in more depth. From an engineering point of view it will be shown how the choice of raw materials and processing parameters can tailor carbon materials to given specifications within a wide property and application range. The main focus will be carbon as electrode material for various electrochemical processes.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures. Towards the end of the semester each student has to present a 30 min colloquium within a narrow part of the curriculum. The presentation will be evaluated and marked. The course is taught in English. If the teaching is given in English the Examination papers will be given in English only.
Compulsory assignments
- Colloqium on selected topic
Further on evaluation
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.
If a student has to take the course over again, all evaluations in the course has to be repeated.
Recommended previous knowledge
