Qualification objectives |
The students master the conceptual approaches and the theoretical background of technical chemistry and modern catalysis. They have in-depth knowledge of an integrated conception for sustainable production in chemistry. They can critically discuss questions regarding process optimization, sustainability and tailored catalysis and place them in the context of the literature. |
| Content | Basic as well as in-depth concepts for technical catalysis, sustainable chemistry in industrial processes as well as the optimization of reaction engineering parameters and economic considerations are the central contents of the module. Furthermore, the module covers in-depth theoretical aspects of all areas of catalysis. Further focal points are concepts for catalyst characterization and deactivation. |
| Teaching and learning methods | The module comprises lecture (2 hours per week), seminar (4 hours per week) and self-study. |
| Prerequisites for partisipation | Basic knowledge of technical, analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry at the undergraduate level is required. Literature for preparation: M.
