OVERVIEW

The course consists of two modules (Module 1 and Module 2). The first module (Module 1) will provide the basic knowledge necessary for understanding the operation of the main separation equipment (humidification, absorption, drying, distillation, etc.) and reaction equipment (reactors for conducting homogeneous and catalytic - homogeneous and heterogeneous - chemical reactions).

The second module (Module 2) will provide the theoretical foundations on fluid motion and transport, knowledge of the main components for the construction of plant circuits, and the fundamentals of some physical separation processes (sedimentation, filtration, membrane processes). To develop skills, practical laboratory examples and exercises will be conducted, aiming to develop the ability to conduct experiments in groups and write reports on laboratory activities.

EXAM DESCRIPTION

Oral exam only. Admission to the oral exam is conditional upon the submission of:

1. the project assigned during the year (for Module 1);
2. the reports on the practical laboratory exercises conducted as part of Module 2.

The exam will involve the two instructors responsible for the two Modules; each of them will ask at least two questions on the topics of their respective Modules, with the exam lasting at least 30 minutes.

Registration must be done online and by sending an email to the course instructors within 7 days of the exam date. Online registration for the exam can be done from the webpage: https://servizionline.unige.it/studenti/esami/prenotazione.

For students with disabilities or with SLD, the assessment method corresponds to the UNIGE rules summarized at https://unige.it/disabilita-dsa.

Only in urgent cases can the exam be conducted online, in accordance with the regulations issued by the University.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The Examination Committee is composed of at least two members, both of whom are the instructors responsible for the course. With these arrangements, the Committee is able to verify the achievement of the learning objectives of Modules 1 and 2.

If these knowledge areas are not acquired, the student is encouraged to deepen their study, requesting additional explanations from the responsible instructors if necessary.
