FKE3130 Industrial Catalytic Processes 10.0 credits

The course consists of seminars given by the lecturer together with PhD-students presenting one topic or question from each chapter or parts of a chapter from the course book ” Fundamentals of Industrial catalytic processes”

The PhD course is given by the Chemical Technology unit and has the aim of giving the student knowledge about how industrial processes is build up with catalytic routes, obtaining knowledge of catalyst characterization techniques, preparation of catalysts and lab-scale reactor design.

To participate in the course you need to be registered as a PhD student at KTH. No further qualifications are needed.

At the end of the course the student should:

-Have participated in 85% of the seminars, or if not, handed in extra material for each seminar missed.

-Have performed a presentation of a different catalyst topic(your own research), in the end of the course, (characterization, reactor design, catalyst preparation technique etc.) and present three questions to discuss examined the other students about his/hers presentation.

-Present one topic or question from each chapter, each time. Maximum 5-10 min.

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
