Within the subject, knowledge in the field of heterogeneous catalysis will be expanded. Attention is focused on the classification of catalysts, transport phenomena in catalysis, procedures used in laboratory research on catalysts, and scale-up procedures. Within the course, a comprehensive overview of the issue will be given, and specific topics will be selected for detailed study according to the previous preparation of the doctoral student and the focus of the dissertation.
