Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

The module adds to the knowledge obtained in Materials Chemistry, Unit Operations, Modelling of heterogeneous processes

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The purpose is to introduce students to knowledge about materials manufacturing, post-treatment and the impact of the manufacture conditions on the structure and properties of materials. To introduce students to the analysis of large-scale industrial systems as well as methods and principles of environmental evaluation. To enable students in chemical engineering to collaborate with mechanical engineeres

The courses cover the introduction to e.g.: 

• Application areas and development tendencies of plastics
• Chemical performances of materials
• Manufacturing technology of polymers
• Manufacturing technology of ceramics, cements and glasses
• Environmental analysis and management
• Industrial processes by visiting relevant industries
