Enviro Heterogeneous Catalysis

Environmental heterogeneous catalysis is the science that studies surface catalyzed reactions in natural systems and chemical industries, e.g. emission control. This course covers topics on the thermodynamics and kinetics of surface catalyzed reactions. Operational principles of surface science techniques will be introduced. Advances in current research in environmental catalysis will be discussed as well. Prerequisites: CH212 or CH261 or CH233 or CH234. Exclusions: CH480d.
