14294 - Lab Course Processes in Porous Materials Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14294
Module Title:Lab Course Processes in Porous Materials
  Laborkurs Prozesse in porösen Materialien
Department: Faculty 2 - Environment and Natural Sciences
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Klepel, Olaf
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every summer semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After completing the module, students will be able to experimentally investigate and analyse physico-chemical processes in highly porous materials and draw conclusions about the properties of the investigated material. They are able to derive strategies for the synthesis of porous materials based on the evaluation of scientific literature and to implement them in practice. The ability to work in a team is promoted by working in small groups. Students are able to familiarise themselves independently with a topic and plan courses of action under given boundary conditions. They have acquired personal skills related to the degree programme through the communicative discussion during the practical course and are able to work on and discuss questions relating to the practical course in small groups.
Contents:- development of strategies for the synthesis of porous materials
- Characterisation of surface functionalities of porous materials
- Experimental investigation of adsorptive properties of porous materials (e.g. silicate or carbon-based materials)
- Experimental investigations into the transport behaviour of substances in porous materials
