Main purpose of this course is to introduce students to issues such as unit systems, mass and energy balances, calculations in chemical technology. There will be analysis of physical and chemical processes that occur in the production of goods and the understanding of the basic rules and principles that govern these processes. Particular attention is paid to certain processes, catalysis, adsorption, sedimentation and filtration. Examples and exercises of application in various industrial systems are given for the better understanding of the chemical and natural processes. Special topics on water technology are also presented.
The examination method includes an intermediate (40%) and a final (60 %) examination.
The course is based on books:
