2. Details of activity
| Status | Current activity |
|---|---|
| Title of project/activity | Postgraduate Course on Environmental Catalysis |
| Web address of project |
http://cc.oulu.fi/~polamwww/envcat2005.html |
| Target audience | Postgraduate level university students |
| Numbers reached | 30 post-graduate student each time the course is run (3 times in total so far) |
| Brief synopsis of activity | A course on environmental catalysis closely related to current research and future expectations. |
| Detailed description | The course content is divided into three themes: 1) introduction to catalysis, 2) sources and effects of harmful emissions, and 3) catalytic control of emissions. The last theme is the most important part of the course including design of catalytic processes (process improvements, new catalytic processes, new opportunities by catalysis technologies) and use of catalysts in primary and secondary pollution prevention. The course is closely related to the present day research and future expectations in environmental catalysis. (The course is also run for undergraduate students). |
| Funding | University of Oulu and Graduate School in Chemical Engineering (postgraduate course) |
| Open to collaboration | Yes |
