The aim of the course is to furnish some technical and economical information on the most important petrochemical processes. Particular attention will be given to modern developments in the chemical industry, especially regarding the use of new raw materials, the growing of selectivity in the catalytic processes, the reduction of the use of solvents and toxic reagents and of the emission of pollutants.
Also information on the main technical and economic processes and products of the "fine chemicals", such as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and food additives will be given.
Knowledge of the foundations of organic chemistry.
Industrial methods of production of some of the most important organic molecules: methanol, hydrogen cyanide, acetylene, acrylonitrile, dienes, 1,4-butanediol, dioxane, THF, chlorinated and fluorinated derivatives of methane, ethane, ethylene, etc..
Study of the main "Fine Chemicals": agrochemicals (fungicides, herbicides, pesticides), pharmaceuticals (cardiovascular, antibacterial agents, steroids, antidepressants, stimulants, antihistamines, analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory), food additives (preservatives, dyes, thickeners, etc.).
