| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| Course aim The course aims to provide the student with a general knowledge of the main issues relating to the sustainability of chemical processes, both in the industrial sector and in base research. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING The student will know the most important contributions of organocatalysis in the synthesis of organic polymers such as polyesters and polycarbonates. The student will understand the advantages and limitations of chemical recycling of polymeric materials as an alternative option to mechanical recycling. The student will acquire the fundamental principles of photocatalysis and know some of its applications in environmental chemistry. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDINGThe student will be able to discuss the results obtained in the laboratory exercises -Identify the errors that emerged during the execution of the lab experiments that may have compromised the achievement of the expected results and will develop appropriate corrective strategies MAKING JUDGMENTS The student will be able to: - evaluate the advantages and criticisms of different synthesis methods proposed in the lab experiments - select the synthetic procedures that offer better performances in terms of efficiency and lower environmental impact - identify the aspects on which to pay greater attention for further optimization of the selected processes COMMUNICATION SKILLSThe student will be able to: - present the topics covered by drafting reports, even in digital format - Identify and describe the innovative aspects of the proposed synthetic procedures also through comparison with traditional ones. -discuss the applications of sustainable chemistry protocols also in areas different from those discussed during lessons. LEARNING SKILLThe student will be able to: -increase his ability in bibliographic research by consulting various databases in order to acquire the most recent scientific and patent literature; - Evaluate the effects of chemical processes proposed as more sustainable alternatives in other areas such as the economic, social and environmental ones. |

|---|---|
| DURING THE ORAL LESSONS (16 HOURS), SYNTHETIC PROCEDURES THAT RESPECT THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY AND THE ATOM ECONOMY WILL BE PROPOSED AS ALTERNATIVES FOR SEVERAL CATALYTIC PROCESSES OF INDUSTRIAL IMPORTANCE. DETAILED EXPLANATIONS OF THE SYNTHETIC PROCEDURES AND OF THE CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES USED DURING THE LABORATORY EXPERIENCES WILL BE PROVIDED. IN PARTICULAR, THE TOPICS INCLUDE: INTRODUCTION TO SCHLENK TECHNIQUES, USE OF THE MOST COMMON LABORATORY EQUIPMENT FOR ORGANIC AND ORGANOMETALLIC SYNTHESIS, EVALUATION AND MINIMIZATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE SELECTED SYNTHETIC PROCESS. THE COURSE INCLUDES 4 PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES IN THE LABORATORY (48 HOURS) CONCERNING: 1.CHEMICAL RECYCLING OF ALIPHATIC AND SEMIAROMATIC POLYESTERS BY ORGANIC BASES AND METALLIC SALTS AS CATALYSTS, ALSO THROUGH THE USE OF MICROWAVES. CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PRODUCTS OBTAINED AND COMPARISON OF THE TWO PROCEDURES (12 HOURS). 2. ORGANOCATALYZED POLYMERIZATION OF CYCLIC ESTERS. (10 HOURS). 3. APPLICATION OF PHOTOCATALYSTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION. (12H) 4. SYNTHESIS OF POLYMERS WITH FLORESCENT SENSORS AS AN EFFICIENT STRATEGY FOR SORTING OF PLASTIC WASTE (12H). |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE INCLUDES 16 HOURS OF THEORETICAL LESSONS AND 48 HOURS OF LABORATORY LESSONS. DURING THE THEORETICAL LESSONS, ALL THE EXPLANATIONS NECESSARY TO APPROACH WITH COMPETENCE AND SAFETY LABORATORY EXERCISES WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE STUDENT. IN THE LABORATORY, THE STUDENT WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO HAVE A CORRECT APPROACH FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE PROPOSED EXERCISE. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAM CONSISTS OF AN ORAL INTERVIEW LASTING ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND IT IS AIMED AT EVALUATING PRACTICAL-APPLICATIVE KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD OF METALLORGANIC SYNTHESIS AND ADVANCED LABORATORY TECHNIQUES. THE VOTE, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS WITH POSSIBLE HONORS, WILL DEPEND ON THE MATURITY ACQUIRED BY THE STUDENT ON THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE AND ON ITS EXHIBITION SKILLS. TO GET THE HONORS, THE SCIENTIFIC MATURITY OF THE STUDENT AS WELL AS THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSURE AND THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT ACHIEVED WILL BE REWARDED. |
