CHOICE 2

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

The course consists on 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 entirely taught in English.

Hybrid" materials are a new family of materials, associating organic ligands with inorganic entities, and are increasingly studied at both fundamental and application levels.

In this EU, two main categories of hybrid materials will be discussed:

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

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

Hourly volumes* :
