	Contents
	THE TEACHING COURSE OF SUSTAINABLE PROCESSES OF INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY IS INTEGRATED BY TWO MODULES: MODULE 1 (ORGANIC INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY PROCESSES) AND MODULE 2 (CHEMICAL PROCESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES) EACH OF WHICH TAKES 60 HOURS (6 CREDITS) BETWEEN LECTURES, CLASSROOM AND LABORATORY EXERCISES. THE TOPICS OF MODULE 1 (PROCESSES OF ORGANIC INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY) DEAL IN DETAIL SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PROCESSES OF ORGANIC INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY. IN DETAIL THE CONTENTS ARE: 1) PRODUCTION PROCESSES OF LIGHT OLEFINS (10H THEORY). 2) INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF METHANOL (5H THEORY). 3) INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION PROCESSES OF PHENOL, ETHYLBENZENE AND STYRENE (15H THEORY). 4) PRODUCTION PROCESSES OF FORMALDEHYDE, ETHYLENE OXIDE AND MALEIC ANHYDRIDE (10H THEORY). 5) ISOBUTENE PRODUCTION PROCESS (5H THEORY). 6) INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF ACETIC ACID AND TEREPHTHALIC ACID (5H THEORY). 7) INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF ACETALDEHYDE AND HYDROFORMYLATION PROCESSES (7H THEORY) 8) POLYMERIZATION PROCESSES: POLYETHYLENE (3H THEORY). THE TOPICS OF MODULE 2 (CHEMICAL PROCESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES) ARE: 1) INTRODUCTION TO "SUSTAINABILITY" AND TO THE CONCEPTS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. BIOMASSES AS RAW MATERIALS SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES. THE CONCEPT OF BIOREFINERY (5 H THEORY). 2) BIOMASS THERMAL CONVERSION PROCESSES: COMBUSTION, PYROLYSIS, GASIFICATION (15 H THEORY). 3) BIOLOGICAL BIOMASS CONVERSION PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BIOGAS AND BIOETHANOL. PURIFICATION OF BIOGAS. USES OF BIOETHANOL (10 H THEORY). 4) THE PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL FROM BIOMASS AND THE USE OF BIODIESEL (5 H THEORY). 5) INTENSIFICATION OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES: CATALYTIC MEMBRANE REACTORS, HIGH CONDUCTIVITY CATALYSTS THERMAL (8 H THEORY, 5 H LABORATORY EXERCISES). 6) FUEL CELLS FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION (3 H THEORY, 2 H LABORATORY EXERCISES). 7) HETEROGENEOUS PHOTOCATALYSIS AS AN EXAMPLE OF A SUSTAINABLE PROCESS (5 H THEORY, 2 H EXERCISES IN LABORATORY).
