Course description and aims

This course gives fundamental knowledge of solid catalysts. In addition to fundamentals of solid catalysts, this course focuses on the fundamental physicochemical properties of metal oxides and porous materials and their catalytic applications. The effect of pore structures on the selectivity of catalytic reactions will also be discussed. Furthermore, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and oxidation reactions over solid catalysts will be specifically explained from a chemical point of view.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Acquire fundamental knowledge of catalysis based on physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry.
2) Deepen their knowledge of chemistry through heterogeneous catalysis.
3) Understand catalytic materials such as metal oxides and porous materials, typical catalytic reactions (hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, oxidation, etc.).

Keywords

Solid Catalyst, Catalytic Reactions, Metal Oxide, Porous Material

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

In order to understand the contents of this course, at the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to the lecture given that day to solve.
