Learning Objectives : The production of chemicals and fuels is relies heavily on catalytic processes in the petroleum and pharmaceutical industry: over 90% of chemicals produced rely on the use of a catalyst. This course is intended to give the student a background of the fundamentals of the catalytic process and the selection of catalysts for specific applications. Heterogeneous catalysis is central to the petroleum chemical industry and it is directly related to products efficiency. This course will emphasize the fundamental and application of heterogeneous catalysis and introduce the catalytic reaction mechanism. Students who complete the course will have attained the following outcomes: 1) Basic of heterogeneous catalyst and catalysis 2) Kinetics of heterogeneously catalyzed reaction 3) Surface characterization by spectroscopic techniques 4) Knowledge of supported metal oxide and zeolites 5) Application of theoretical calculations 6) Industrial applications of heterogeneous catalyst.
