Objective

After completing the course the student can explain the interdisciplinary connection of catalysis with material and surface science, define new catalyst preparation methods and application areas, catalytic reaction and process engineering, and methods in catalyst research (experimental and computational methods). He/she is also able to design and do research work by emphasising research methods and innovations in catalysis. He/she is able to explain the latest knowledge connected to catalyst research and applications. He/she is also capable of explaining the relation and differences between heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.

Content

The course contents are divided into the following themes 1) surface chemistry and catalysis, 2) new catalyst preparation methods, 3) catalysis for a sustainable production and energy, and green chemistry and engineering and catalysis, 4) design of catalysts and catalytic processes (reactor and process intensification, process improvements, new catalysts and catalytic processes, new opportunities by catalysis), 5) phenomena integration and catalysis and 6) new innovations in catalyst research.
