Key words
Industrial Chemistry: part inorganic
Objectives
Lecture:
The course inorganic industrial chemistry is focused on the most important chemical processes starting from the raw materials, along the production of semi-finished articles and ending with the final endproducts.
Attention is paid to insight and applicable knowledge about process-engineering, process-technology as well as to synthetic and chemical-analytical aspects of the industrial chemical processes taking into account crucial factors as quality, durability, recycling, environmental impact, safety, health and social-economical context.
Study excursion / practical exercises:
During the excursions, students are confronted with process-chemistry and related technology in real dimensions. Moreover students become an insight view in the enterprise organisation in his global socio – economic and society context.
Topics
Lecture:
Typical elements of the inorganic chemical industry and more specifically the situation in Belgium (Flanders), further topics as product development, business-column, R&D, patents, environmental sustainability , safety and health knowledge management and automation.
In addition topics are treated as basic raw materials, air and water (and purification), industrial gasses, the sulphur industry, nitrogen industry, alkali- and chlorine industry and phosphorus industry.
Study excursion / practical exercises:
A broad spectrum of enterprises, active in the chemical industry ( basic products , fine chemicals, polymers,…) are visited in group.
Prerequisites
Objectives, obtained in the chemical basic modules of the first and the second year bachelor chemistry.
Final Objectives
General scientific competences [AWC1,AWC2,AWC3,ACW4]
To be able to think and argue in a logical, critical, creative and scientific manner and to implement scientific insights on to related problems. On the same time the must be able to communicate verbal and/or written in an efficient manner and to report upon scientific/technical problems, to collect and assimilate derived knowledge and information.
General technical competences [ATC1]
The student must be able to have insight and to associate derived links to the different scientific/technical disciplines in order to understand technical problems and processes in global.
Specific competences [SC1,SC2,SC5]
The students must obtain a clear insight into chemical general knowledge and skills and must be able to link the different aspects and apply them in process- and productcontrol. They must be able to gain more specialised chemical/technical knowledge and to perform specific practical tasks and skills
