INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY 1 AND LABORATORY - MOD.2

The course consists mainly in laboratory lessons and will focus on the analysis of the control parameters of a reaction in different types of reactor. In this context, this is a course that has a noticeable relevance for the CDS in chemistry and sustainable technologies because it is central to the preparation of a student, to be able to deal critically the relations between chemistry, industry, environment, resources, transformation processes and enhancement of raw materials and their products. Sustainability and reactor practice are treated together with their implication in practical reactions. The practical part of the course is prevalent because it is closely related to the module 1 of the course where the theoretical part is mainly explained.

1. Knowledge and understanding
A) Types of reactors and safety for reactions under pressure.
B) Reaction kinetics in real reactors.
C) Catalysis and catalysts

2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
A) Continuous and discontinuous reactions.
B) pressurized autoclave reactions (5-10 bar).

3. Ability to judge
A) Evaluate the most suitable type of catalyst for a reaction.
B) Evaluate the type of reactor most suitable for a reaction.
C) management and optimization of a reaction.

4. Communication skills
A) Knowing how to communicate the knowledge learned with appropriate terminology, both in oral and written.
B) Knowing how to work in a group and organize team trials.

5. Learning skills
A) Apply the methodologies to the reactions and know how to hypothesize the most correct type of reactor for a given reaction.
B) be autonomous in organizing and optimizing a reaction in a certain type of reac

To have reached the educational objectives of Institutions of Mathematics, General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry (without having passed the exams, necessarily).

The course consists in laboratory lessons and will focus on the analysis of the control parameters of a reaction in different types of reactor. We will also give some simple information of catalysis and on the synthesis of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, which will be used in reactions in the various types of reactor.
The course will also include notions of general plant engineering necessary for the design and management of small laboratory plants.
Both batch type reactors and continuous reactors (PFR like) will be used. The analysis of the data will allow to determine the reaction regime in the various reactors and will allow to identify the parameters for the optimization of the process.

Direct interaction with students with questions during laboratory tests.

Explanation and direct interaction with the students during the laboratory tests. No reports will be requested, but a detailed explanation of one or more experiences will be requested, and the student will be able, if he / she deems it necessary, to use slides or informatics tools to explain what has been studied in the various experiences.

Italian

The course will be considered frequented if the student will attend at least 75% of the lessons.

Accessibility, Disability and Inclusion
Accommodation and support services for students with disabilities and students with specific learning impairments:
