Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to: Knowledge and Understanding : At the end of this course students will be able to show an understanding of the principal concepts and applications of ¿Green Chemistry¿. Be aware of the difficulties in defining the boundaries of systems in order to minimise the impact of individual manufacturing processes. Understand the chemistry of extractive metallurgy and the contrasts between smelting and related pyro-metallurgical processes and hydrometallurgical recovery methodologies. Appreciate the contributions of biotechnology to the improved sustainability of chemicals production. Understand the environmental impact of automotive exhaust emissions and the role of catalyst technology in meeting both European and North American emissions legislation. Appreciate how catalysis based systems may provide 'clean technologies' for heavy industry and power generation. Practice: Applied Knowledge, Skills and Understanding: Apply this integrated knowledge in a "systems engineering" approach to the design of new products and processes and an appreciation of how this is being implemented in various industrial sectors in response to a combination of diminishing resources as well as economic and political pressures. Generic Cognitive Skills: Critically review current resources, routes and production of chemicals (either large scale intermediates or fine chemicals) and demonstrate an ability to analyse or assess complex problems based on diverse, or limited, datasets. Communication, ICT and Numeracy Skills: Interpret and use a wide range of numerical, graphical and schematic data and communicate this effectively. Autonomy, Accountability and Working with Others: Show an appreciation of complex ethical, economical and professional issues related to the production of chemicals in accordance with current professional and/or ethical codes or practices.
