Learning outcomes
|
Master: Basics of general, inorganic and organic chemistry, nomenclature, simple chemical calculations, basic information about raw materials and products of chemical processes (inorganic and organic products of industrial chemistry, metals, refractories, ceramics, glass) used in engineering and related fields. Modern trends in chemistry for material engineering (composite materials, nanotechnology and nanomaterials). Master: Operational safety. Frequently required laboratory glassware and instruments. Preparation and mixing of solutions. pH measurments, metal coatings.
After completing the course, students will be able to: 1. Chemical calculations and nomenclature Compile chemical formulas and correctly name basic inorganic compounds commonly found in technical practice (acids, bases, salts, oxides). Apply chemical equations for stoichiometric calculations (e.g., calculation of reactant consumption or the amount of gases produced). Calculate the composition of solutions (mass and volume fractions, molarity) and propose a procedure for their preparation, dilution, or mixing (e.g., for the preparation of cooling emulsions, electrolytes, or pickling baths). 2. Materials chemistry and properties of substances Explain the relationship between the type of chemical bond (metallic, covalent, ionic) or intermolecular forces and the macroscopic mechanical and physical properties of technical materials (strength, hardness, melting point, conductivity). Characterise the specific properties and engineering applications of modern and traditional materials (technical metals and alloys, refractory materials, ceramics, composites, and nanomaterials). Describe the behaviour of technical gases, the principles of their liquefaction, and the importance of critical variables for their safe storage and industrial use. 3. Corrosion, electrochemistry, and surface treatments Explain the chemical and electrochemical nature of metal corrosion using the electrochemical voltage series and pH principles. Assess corrosion risks in a given environment and propose suitable passive or active protection methods for machine components (coatings, inhibitors, cathodic protection). Apply Faraday's laws for quantitative calculations in electroplating (e.g., calculation of the thickness of the deposited layer in electroplating). 4. Laboratory and experimental skills Perform basic laboratory operations and measurements (e.g., pH determination, titration, electroplating, water hardness tests) in compliance with occupational safety and health (OSH) principles in a chemical laboratory. Process and interpret measured experimental data, and formulate technical conclusions in the form of a defended laboratory report.
