Objective
Upon completion of the course, the student knows in theory and in practice novel industrial applications of chemistry. Student understands and is able to analyze the role of fundamental chemistry in these industrial applications.
Methods of completion
Implementation: Online course in Moodle learning environment 30 hours of studies, 104 hours of students independent work in the learning environment
Methods of completion
Learning tasks done in the Moodle learning environment.
Content
During the course, recent industrial applications of chemistry are reviewed. These include e.g. chemistry in mining industry and in chemical industry. Especially, energy storage materials and metal refining are considered. Further, bioeconomy and circular economy processes, such as catalytic applications in water purification, preparation of biofuels and materials from biomass, and hydrogen economy are studied. Overall, the increasing role of inorganic circular economy in material chemistry, and in the utilization of waste and side streams are studied.
Materials
Learning material and scientific review publications, delivered in the learning environment.
Qualifications
Prerequisites: Basic courses in chemistry Recommended optional program components: The course is an independent entity and does not require additional studies carried out at the same time.
