LEARNING OUTCOMES
After passing the course student can:
apply the mixed potential theory to kinetic and equilibrium evaluations of leaching and corrosion systems,
design and conduct electrochemical experiments to measure reaction rates and corrosion rates and corrosion probabilities,
dimension a leaching, solution purification and recovery process based on selected aims, such as yield, selectivity or residence time,
apply the techniques of materials selection and corrosion engineering to the design of processing equipment.
