CHT225 Practical Catalytic Chemistry

Knowing(these are things that all students will need to be able to do to pass the module):
• use equipment appropriate to the experiments in a safe and correct way;
• obtain and act upon safety and hazard information for chemicals;
• use and apply some of the techniques necessary for the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts;
• use and apply simple techniques for the isolation of an enzyme from a natural source and assess its concentration;
• prepare selected organometallic complexes and employ them as homogeneous catalysts;

Acting(Performance in this area will enable students to achieve more than a basic pass):
• assess the activity of different types of catalyst isolated from various sources;
• interpret experimental data and make deductions in the light of an existing model for a system;
• put new experimental data into the context of what was already known;

Being(Performance in this area will enable students to achieve more than a basic pass):
• appreciate the context of the experiments and research undertaken;
• prepare a concise account of previous work on a topic from a survey of the literature.
