Chemistry in thermal energy processes: principles, sustainability and environment emissions

Individual course

The challenges of combustion and thermal conversion processes are today more and more related to chemistry.

Course contents

  • Industrial scale combustion and thermal conversion systems and the chemistry associated with these processes, including formation of main emission components
  • Fundamental theoretical tools, including the use of expert software, for studying chemistry in combustion and thermal conversion processes
  • Theoretical basis for working in academia or industry with chemical issues of combustion and thermal conversion processes

Learning outcomes

After completing this course you

  • can define terms and concepts relevant to industrial combustion and thermal conversion processes
  • can describe the basic principles of industrial combustion and thermal conversion processes and the chemistry within them, including products and the formation of main emission components
  • are able to apply fundamental chemical theories for interpreting product characteristics and emissions from combustion and thermal conversion processes
  • can analyse thermal-conversion-related problems using expert software by following given instructions.

In addition, this course aims to improve the abilities of the students to work in groups, meet deadlines, systematically analyse a problem, use literature in critical analysis of a problem and report findings according to scientific criteria.
