Summary

The course introduces students in more detail to the experimental techniques used for the characterization of the physical and chemical properties of materials for thermal processes, including fuels and by-products of thermal processes. The acquired knowledge covers the field of thermal analysis, e.g. thermogravimetry, differential thermal and differential scanning calorimetry, dilatometry, measurement of thermal conductivity, as well as characterization of the chemical and phase composition of materials, characterization of the topography and morphology of the surfaces of the investigated materials and their textural parameters including a specific surface area, porosity and particle size.
