Module Details

Learning Outcomes

A good understanding of the basic principles and applications of heterogeneous catalysis and of the structure of solid catalysts.

A good understanding of the concept of the intrinsic rate of catalytic reactions and of the concept of the global (overall) rate.

Ability to develop the intrinsic rate of catalytic reactions through their mechanism and to test it with experimental data.

Ability to incorporate phenomena of external and/or internal mass and heat transfer to the intrinsic rate and develop the global rate of catalytic reactions.

Familiarization with the different models of simulation of catalytic reactors and their basic assumptions

Prerequisites

Chemical Reaction Engineering I
