Voraussetzungen

Inhalte

• nature of porosity • equilibrium adsorption and adsorption kinetics in porous materials • transport processes in porous materials • interplay of chemical reaction and transport processes in heterogeneous catalysis (macro kinetics) • the interplay of mass transport and adsorption of molecules in porous materials investigated by temperature-programmed desorption

Lernziele

The students acquire basic knowledge on the nature of highly porous materials (pore widths between 0.5 and 50 nm) and their characterization. They acquire knowledge of important processes which take place in highly porous materials such as adsorption and mass transport processes. By studying original scientific literature on their own, students are able to analyse scientific texts and reflect on their content in the context of the lecture material. In addition, students have acquired further personal skills related to the degree programme through communicative discussion in seminars.
