CHT203 Heterogeneous Catalysis

• Demonstrate awareness of the application of heterogeneous catalysts for a range of modern processes and reactions.
• Demonstrate understanding of structure, function and activity of heterogeneous catalysts.
• Describe the fundamental principles and mechanisms of heterogeneous catalysts.
• Identify important catalysed industrial processes.

Acting (Performance in this area will enable students to achieve more than a basic pass):
• Evaluate experimental data from performance of heterogeneous catalysts and relate this to catalyst characteristics.
• Propose mechanisms for heterogeneously catalysed transformations covering a wide range of chemistry.
• Propose key catalyst characteristics to effectively catalyse a wide range of reactions.
• Identify important features for industrial catalysed processes.

Being (Performance in this area will enable students to achieve more than a basic pass):
• Critically assess data relating to catalyst performance, communicating key concepts and characteristics, and suggest potential catalysts for unseen reactions.
• Research into an industrial catalysed process, critically assessing the information available and identifying and explaining important features.
