Course detail
Principles of Process Technologies
FSI-IPCAcad. year: 2014/2015
In the course the students are acquainted with the principles of chemical technology and factors affecting the results of chemical reactions. The students practice the material a energy balancing of chemical processes. In the range of inorganic technologies the processes for production of syngases and other important gases (H2, N2, O2, ammonia, chlorine, and the like), acids (H2SO4, HNO3, HCl), hydroxides (NaOH) and also metal production (Fe, alkaline metals) are discussed. The principles of waste water treatment and solid communal and hazardous wastes treatment and incineration are also discussed. In the range of industry of organic chemistry the topics discussed are in particular the technologies for crude oil treatment and natural gas exploitation, production plastics and fabric fibres. The types of equipment (heaters and heat exchangers, columns, reactors and the like) and procedures used in chemical technology are dealt with.
