| COURSE AIM THE COURSE AIMS TO DEMONSTRATE HOW KINETIC, THERMODYNAMIC, AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS ARE RECONCILED IN AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS AND THE FUNDAMENTAL ROLE OF CATALYSIS IN INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY. IT WILL SEEK TO EXEMPLIFY THE CONCEPTS OF ACTIVITY, SELECTIVITY, CATALYST LIFETIME, AND REGENERATION, HIGHLIGHTING ASPECTS OF HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS. THE MAIN TYPES OF CATALYSTS AND CURRENT DIRECTIONS IN INDUSTRIAL CATALYSIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE PRESENTED. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT WILL: •ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CHEMICAL REACTIONS CONDUCTED ON AN INDUSTRIAL SCALE. •UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE ENERGY ASPECTS OF A REACTION AND THE OPERATING CONDITIONS OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES. •BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND EXPLAIN THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, AND REACTION TIMES ON THE EFFICIENCY AND SELECTIVITY OF THE STUDIED PROCESSES. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: •CRITICALLY DISCUSS AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS WITH REFERENCE TO THE CHOSEN CATALYST TYPE. •UNDERSTAND THE FACTORS THAT MAKE AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS PROFITABLE. •GRASP THE CURRENT DIRECTIONS OF MODERN CHEMISTRY DEVELOPMENT WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES MAKING JUDGMENTS THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: •CRITICALLY EVALUATE AN INDUSTRIAL CHEMICAL PROCESS FROM VARIOUS PERSPECTIVES AND HOW IT FITS INTO THE ISSUE OF RENEWABLE RESOURCE DEPLETION. •UNDERSTAND THE ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS RELATED TO EACH PROCESS CHOICE IN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION. •SELECT THE MOST SUITABLE REACTION CONDITIONS BASED ON THE KINETICS AND THERMODYNAMICS OF THE REACTION OCCURRING IN THE INDUSTRIAL PROCESS. •CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE CATALYST BASED ON THE REACTANTS AND THE DESIRED PRODUCTS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: •COMMUNICATE THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED DURING THE COURSE USING CORRECT AND APPROPRIATE TECHNICAL-SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE. •EXPRESS OPINIONS REGARDING THE CHANGES THAT THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY UNDERGOES TO MEET MARKET DEMANDS. LEARNING SKILL THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: •UTILIZE TRADITIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHIC TOOLS AND COMPUTER RESOURCES TO STAY UPDATED ON RESEARCH ADVANCEMENTS CONCERNING THE CHEMICAL MOLECULES STUDIED DURING THE COURSE. •UNDERSTAND THE WORLD OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN INDUSTRIES AND COMPARE IT TO THAT OF RESEARCH IN THE ACADEMIC SPHERE. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE PROVIDES 52 HOURS OF DIDACTICS BETWEEN LESSONS AND PRACTICAL LABORATORY EXERCISES (6 CFU). IN PARTICULAR, THERE WILL BE 40 HOURS OF LESSONS IN THE CLASSROOM (5 CFU), AND 12 HOURS OF EXERCISES (1 CFU). THE LESSONS WILL BE TAKEN ESSENTIALLY WITH THE AID OF PROJECTIONS WHICH WILL THEN BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE STUDENTS. THE EXERCISE CONSISTS OF A REAL PROBLEM OF USE OF CATALYST IN AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS. STUDENTS IN GROUPS WILL GET FAMILIAR WITH THE INSTRUMENTS AND TECHNIQUES OF AN INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORY AND THEY WILL DISCUSS TOGETHER IN THE CLASSROOM, COMPARING THE RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENTS AND SEARCHING FOR AN INTERPRETATION. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST WITH THREE OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS. FOR EACH QUESTION, A TOTAL OF 10 POINTS IS ASSIGNED BASED ON THE CORRECTNESS AND COMPLETENESS OF THE ARGUMENTS PROVIDED. THE SCORE FOR THE WRITTEN TEST WILL BE EXPRESSED AS 18/30. THE STUDENT ACHIEVES EXCELLENCE IF THEY DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS EXHAUSTIVELY, SHOWING CRITICAL THINKING, INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGMENT, AND USING APPROPRIATE TECHNICAL-SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE FOR THE SUBJECT MATTER. |
