Sustainable Chemistry
Course content
The course will give an introduction to green and sustainable chemistry. This will be done by lectures and mandatory student paper presentation. Topics will include:
- Atom economy
- Waste management and Prevention
- Measuring and Controlling Environmental Performance
- Green catalysis and green solvents
- Renewable Resources
- Emerging Greener Technologies and Alternative Energy Sources
- Designing Greener Processes
The student is expected to acquire:
Knowledge:
Obtain knowledge of green and sustainable chemistry as
described in the course content i.e. Atom economy, Waste
management and Prevention
Measuring and Controlling Environmental Performance, Green
catalysis and green solvents, Renewable Resources, Emerging
Greener Technologies and Alternative Energy Sources and Designing
Greener Processes
Skills:
To be able to read, understand and analyse a scientific
paper within the field of sustainable chemistry
Competencies:
To be able to present a scientific paper in sustainable
chemistry in an understandable manner and to be able to discuss
critically
