The theory portion of the course covers an introduction to modern chemical industries, material balance calculations and industrial process flow charts. Industrial unit operations include distillation, flotation, crystallization, settling and filtration. Industrial chemical processes will examine fertilizer production, oil sands extraction, inorganic acids syntheses, wood pulping and selected petrochemical processes. The course includes a unit on the principles and processes used in green industrial chemistry. Laboratory work provides exposure to practical bench scale experiments dealing with unit operations and chemical processes used in industrial manufacturing. Wet chemical analyses and stoichiometric calculations are used to evaluate the purity of laboratory products.
