FCK3505 Industrial Catalytic Processes
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Eligible for studies at the third-cycle level.
- Fundamental catalytic phenomena
- Catalyst materials, properties and preparation
- Catalyst characterization
- Reactor design and activity testing
- Catalyst deactivation, causes, mechanisms and treatment
- Industrial practice, hydrogen production, hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, catalytic oxidations, refining and processing,
- Environmental catalysis, mobile and stationary sources, and fuel cells
After completion of the course the doctoral student should have the knowledge and ability to:
- apply the fundamentals of catalysis and catalytic processes with its practice, and to be able to apply the fundamentals of catalysis and their applications in solving industrial problems, for example, designing catalysts, reactors, and process models which requires a detailed knowledge of reaction kinetics and mechanisms.
- present and motivate orally own project results, and critically evaluate own and others’ presented project results.
- reflect on the selected scientific problem with respect to environmental, human or societal aspects.
