Autumn 2015 5 lectures on Clean Synthesis – Spring 2016 7 lectures on Renewable Resources – Clean Synthesis: The design and development of a chemical synthetic route should take into account, economic, societal and environmental factors. The integration of cleaner and efficient methods can achieve these goals. Lectures cover: Scale up and industrial application of clean synthesis including asymmetric synthesis High throughput synthesis Renewable Resources: Diminishing fossil resources, increasing oil prices and numerous other drivers are rapidly forcing society to seek new, sustainable sources of carbon for future chemicals, energy and materials production. These will be based on biomass including crops, trees and food waste which will be the feedstocks for new biorefineries. Green chemical and bio-processing should be used to transform these raw materials into genuinely green products. Lectures cover: Renewable v Non-renewable feedstocks Biofuels v Conventional fuels The biorefinery, technologies and products Platform molecules from biomass Pre-requisites: Ideally Concepts Level 1a: Introduction to Green Chemistry THEMES: Most relevant to SGT, FM, HMSC CONCEPTS Level 2: 2b: Energy Efficient Synthesis & Clean Technology Various Green Chemistry Staff Spring 2016. This course consists of 20 lectures that are part of the MSc in Green Chemistry. 10 lectures on Chemical Engineering and Clean Technology 10 lectures on Energy Efficiency Green chemistry and energy efficiency can only be effectively applied to chemical processing through the use of appropriate chemical engineering. Thus green chemical technology requires the integration of efficient and selective chemical methods, highly efficient reactors, online monitoring, and rapid and low-waste separation processes. The use of microreaction and intensive processing is especially exciting and promises to revolutionise the industry through the use of small and flexible manufacturing plants. Lectures cover: Intro to chemical engineering Traditional reactors and process development Electrochemistry and clean technology; Membrane reactions Reactor design for improved efficiency; Process Intensification
