Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to familiarize students with the principles, technological processes, and specific characteristics of the industrial production of chemical substances and materials. Emphasis is placed on linking fundamental chemical knowledge with its practical application in industrial processes. The course introduces students to the principles and technological procedures of major industrial chemical processes. It focuses on basic raw materials, chemical reactions, reaction conditions, catalysis, process equipment, and material and energy balances. Attention is given to selected processes in the inorganic and organic industries, petrochemicals, polymer production, and other important chemical products. The course also covers aspects of the economics and efficiency of production processes, occupational safety, environmental protection, and current trends in sustainable chemical production.
Understand the basic principles of industrial chemical processes and their technological organization, characterize the main raw materials, intermediates, and products of the chemical industry, explain the influence of reaction conditions, catalysts, and process parameters on the production process, be familiar with basic technological flow diagrams and material balance equations, assess the fundamental aspects of energy intensity, economics, and efficiency of industrial processes, be familiar with the principles of workplace safety, environmental impacts, and pollution prevention in the chemical industry, gain an overview of major sectors such as petrochemicals, inorganic and organic chemistry, polymers, fertilizers, and the pharmaceutical and food industries, apply the acquired knowledge in the analysis and evaluation of specific industrial chemical processes.
