4th year courses
• Autumn: TKP4155 Reaction kinetics and catalysis (Prof. Magnus Rønning)– Definition of catalysis, elementary reactions, chain reactions and catalytic
sequences. Microkinetic modeling. Catalyst preparation and characterization. Adsorption, desorption, surface area and porosity. Modern theories for surfaces and surface reactions. Internal and external mass and heat transfer in catalyst particles. The effect of diffusion on reaction kinetics. Multifunctional catalysis. Catalysis by transition metal complexes. Ziegler-Natta and single-site polymerisation catalysts.
• Spring: TKP4150 Petrochemistry and oil refining (Prof. II Kjell Moljord &
Prof. Edd A. Blekkan)– Feedstocks, Norwegian oil and gas production, energy from fossil fuels. Oil
refining, oil products, refinery design and selected processes, catalytic reforming and isomerization, hydrotreating and hydrocracking, catalytic cracking, treatment of heavy oils, hydrogen balance, environmental concerns, new fuels. Examples of basic, intermediate and end products from petrochemistry. Natural gas and LPG as feedstock, synthesis gas production, preparation and use of hydrogen, methanol synthesis, Fischer-Tropsch, ammonia synthesis. Production of light olefins by steam-cracking, dehydrogenation and other routes, use of light olefins.
