THERE was always been something intellectually unsatisfying about manuals, dictionaries and encyclopdias of industrial chemistry. To the works chemist, intimately acquainted with the details of a particular industry, they often appear superficial and elementary; to the student of chemistry they lack the imaginative appeal which is found in works on the pure sciences; to the chemical engineer, concerned primarily with the quantitative aspects of physical and chemical processes, they usually offer a qualitative and unbalanced olla podrida of engineering, chemistry and economics which is peculiarly irritating.
This course aims to provide students with basic knowledge on the processes in the chemical plants, which plays important role in human civilization. At each meeting, students will be introduced to a specific major industrial process such as petroleum, coal, cement, and agrichemical industry, and the underlying process that was used to transform raw material into product was explained. Moreover, production trends of the commodities as well as environmental issues related to various industries will also be covered.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
Understand the general flow of material inside various chemical industries.
Understand the general trend and future prospect of various chemical industries.
Understand the environmental issues related to various chemical industries.
