LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course the students are able to:
- give the definition of catalysis and describe concepts related to heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts
- explain steps and methods in catalyst preparation
- describe and apply selected catalyst characterization methods
- explain why and how catalysts deactivate and how catalyst deactivation can be postponed or prevented
- give examples of where catalysts are applied
- recognize challenges potentially solvable by catalytic reactions
