OPTION 2

The goal of this course is to enable students with a background in chemistry to understand the fundamentals of process engineering.

The course consists of two main parts that are illustrated by the same process.

In the first part of the course, a drying process will be used to introduce the most common heat and mass transfer phenomena found in process engineering, from which the dimensionless numbers can be derived. In the second part, the thermodynamic properties of the air/water vapor mixtures will be used to derive basic dimensioning rules for the same drying process.

This course will be taught entirely in English.

Hybrid materials are a new family of materials combining organic ligands that connect inorganic entities, and are increasingly being studied at both a fundamental and applied level.

As part of this course unit, two main categories of hybrid materials will be covered:

• Coordination Networks and Metal-Organic Frameworks
• Organosilicon/carbon materials

CM: 10 a.m.

Tutorial: 10 a.m.

A general approach to confinement materials will be developed during this teaching unit, addressing the desired properties, the different classes of confinement matrices, and the associated synthesis methods. The structure-property relationships related to the confinement of radionuclides and/or toxic chemical elements will also be described. The materials covered will be glass, glass-ceramic, or ceramic.

Hourly volumes:

            CM: 12 p.m.

            Tutorial: 8 hours
