Credit Hours: 3.00. Catalysts are materials which speed up chemical reactions without changing or consuming the catalyst itself in the process. They also provide selectivity or specificity to particular products which are more desirable than others. This course will focus on understanding the principles of homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzymatic catalysis, will include applications of catalysis in environmentally sustainable processes.
3.000 Credit hours Syllabus Available Levels: Undergraduate, Graduate, Professional Schedule Types: Distance Learning, Lecture Offered By: Regional Campus Only Course Attributes: Upper Division May be offered at any of the following campuses: Northwest- Westville Northwest- Hammond Learning Outcomes: 1. Understand the importance of catalysis and explain why catalysis is central to Green Chemistry. 2. Differentiate heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis and describe examples of each used in an industrial process. 3. Interpret data on catalytic cycles, and propose mechanisms for reactions. 4. Identify and interpret physical and spectroscopic characterization methods for catalytic materials. |
