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, both of which 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 encountered in process engineering, from which the dimensionless numbers can be derived. In the second part, the thermodynamic properties of air/water vapor mixtures will be used to derive basic sizing rules for the same drying process.

This course will be taught entirely in English.

"Hybrid" materials constitute a new class of materials that combine organic ligands linking inorganic units; they are being studied more and more, both from a fundamental and an applied perspective.

In 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.

This course will provide a general overview of confinement materials by addressing the desired performance properties, the different classes of confinement matrices, and the associated synthesis methods. It will also describe the structure-property relationships related to the confinement of radionuclides and/or toxic chemical elements. The materials covered will include glass, glass-ceramics, and ceramics.

Hourly volumes*:
