course aims in Estonian
Õppeaine eesmärk on:
- arendada ja süvendada üliõpilase teadmisi ja oskusi keemiatehnoloogiate kujundamisest rõhuasetusega tehnoloogiliste skeemide analüüsil;
- tutvustada anorgaaniliste ja anorgaaniliste ressursside vääristamise tehnoloogilisi protsesse ning nendega kaasnevaid keskkonnakaitse probleeme tööstuses;
- anda teadmisi kütuste (nafta-, gaasi- kivisöe-, põlevkivi-) tehnoloogiatest;
- tutvustada rohelise keemia & tehnoloogia saavutusi ning võimalusi väheste jäätmetega protsesside kujundamiseks.
course aims in English
The aim of this course is to:
- to develop and deepen the student's knowledge and skills in the design of chemical technologies, with emphasis on analysis of technological schemes;
- to introduce technological processes for the refining of organic and inorganic resources;
- to give knowledge about fuel (petroleum, gas, coal, oil shale) technologies;
- to introduce the achievements and potential of green chemistry and technology for designing processes with minimal waste.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Aine läbinud üliõpilane:
- kirjeldab keemilise tehnoloogia ja biotehnoloogilise tootmise põhilisi protsesse (sh anorgaaniliste ja orgaaniliste ainete tehnoloogiad ning kütuste tehnoloogiad) ning seostab nende toimimist vastavate seaduspärasustega;
- koostab materjali- ja energiabilansse ning kasutab neid tehnoloogiliste protsesside hindamiseks ja planeerimiseks;
- analüüsib ja tõlgendab tehnoloogilisi skeeme, kasutades asjakohast infot ning koostades lihtsamaid tehnoloogilisi skeeme;
- rakendab rohelise keemia ja ökoinseneeria põhimõtteid, tuues näiteid nende rakendamisest keemiatehnoloogilistes protsessides;
- hindab tehnoloogiate ja protsesside sobivust ühiskondlikust, eetilisest ja keskkonnaalasest vaatenurgast, tuues välja nende võimalikud mõjud.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course the student:
- describes the fundamental processes of chemical technology and biotechnological production (including technologies of inorganic and organic substances as well as fuel technologies) and relates their operation to the relevant governing principles;
- prepares material and energy balances and uses them to evaluate and plan technological processes;
- analyses and interprets technological flow diagrams, using relevant information and preparing simplified technological schemes;
- applies the principles of green chemistry and eco-engineering, providing examples of their application in chemical engineering processes;
- evaluates the suitability of technologies and processes from societal, ethical, and environmental perspectives, identifying their potential impacts.
