Course description and aims

Advanced chemical reaction engineering is intended as a first-year graduate course in "Chemical Science & Engineering". This course is composed of two parts; Chemical reaction engineering and Biochemical engineering. This course covers the basic theories and industrial applications in these fields in addition to latest topics.

　In catalytic chemical reaction engineering, first, petro-refinery and petro-chemical processes are first overviewed. In petro-chemical processes, heterogeneous reaction system is generally used, so that the non-uniform fluid flow is taught in the reactor. Then, evaluation of diffusion and reaction rate within pore of catalyst is explained in gas-solid reaction. The catalyst deactivation phenomena and its analysis method are also introduced. The gas-solid reaction, which is related to coal gasification to produce syngas, is also explained.
In biochemical reaction engineering, emphasis is placed on the use of biocatalysts in production and material transformation. An overview of recent topics on screening and breeding of biological resources, reaction kinetics of biocatalysts, bioreactor, bioseparation, genome technology and genetic engineering, biomeasurements, and environmental biotechnology is provided. Students are expected to aquire basic knowledge of biotechnology and biochemical engineering from this course.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1)　overview of petro-fefinary and petro-chemical processes
2)　Non-uniform fluind flow inside reactor
3)　Mass-balance within solid catalyst and catalyst deactivation
4)　Reactor design
5)　Explain characteristics of microorganisms and its cultivation conditions
6)　Analyze reaction kinetics of microbial culture and bioproduct
7)　Explain characteristics of enzymes and its reaction kinetics
8) Explain design and operating condition of bioreactor, and methods for separation of bioproduct

Keywords

Chemical reaction engineering, Petrochemical, Soid catalyst, Reactor design, Enzymatic reaction, Microbial Fermentation, Bioseparation

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purpose.
In every class, a summary of the previous lecture is given.
Towards the end of each class, students are required to solve exercise problems related to the material covered in the class.
