Lab Course Processes in Porous Materials
Laborkurs Prozesse in porösen Materialien
6 CPSummerEN
Prerequisites
Recommended, as written
• Knowledge in the field of porous materials such as porous carbons, zeolites or porous silicate materials • Knowledge of adsorption, diffusion and heterogeneous catalysis • Successfully completed the modules 14293 Porous Materials, 14041 Processes in Porous Materials and 14641 Heterogeneous Catalysis
Contents
- development of strategies for the synthesis of porous materials - Characterisation of surface functionalities of porous materials - Experimental investigation of adsorptive properties of porous materials (e.g. silicate or carbon-based materials) - Experimental investigations into the transport behaviour of substances in porous materials
Learning outcomes
After completing the module, students will be able to experimentally investigate and analyse physico-chemical processes in highly porous materials and draw conclusions about the properties of the investigated material. They are able to derive strategies for the synthesis of porous materials based on the evaluation of scientific literature and to implement them in practice. The ability to work in a team is promoted by working in small groups. Students are able to familiarise themselves independently with a topic and plan courses of action under given boundary conditions. They have acquired personal skills related to the degree programme through the communicative discussion during the practical course and are able to work on and discuss questions relating to the practical course in small groups.
Assessment
5 Practical experiments with 10 pages protocol (70%) and summarising 20-minute presentation (30%)
