166.684 Material Biomass Utilisation, opens an external URL in a new window
The chemical industry today remains largely dependent on finite fossil resources such as oil, natural gas, and coal. Biomass offers an attractive renewable carbon source for the sustainable production of organic chemicals. This course introduces the main types of biomass used as industrial feedstocks and explores key processes for their conversion into valuable chemical products. Particular attention is given to the production and application of alcohols, polyols, organic acids, and furan-based compounds.

166.244 Fundamentals of Catalytic Processes, opens an external URL in a new window
Heterogeneous catalysis is a key enabling technology in modern chemical industry, underpinning the production of most fuels and chemical products. This course addresses heterogeneous catalytic processes across multiple scales: from molecular interactions on the catalyst surface, to transport phenomena within porous catalyst particles, and finally to reaction engineering at the reactor level.
This course is part of the Industrial Catalysis module. More information is available in TISS, opens an external URL in a new window.
