Chemical and Materials Engineering Syllabi. 4.https://digitalcommons.njit.edu/cme-syllabi/4 1 CHE 750: Environmental Catalysis On-line Course Fall 2018  Course Time/Location: Instructor: Xianqin Wang Lecture Materials will be uploaded to NJIT Moodle. http://njit2.mrooms.net/course/view.php?id=24711   Office Hours: You can ask questions by email (xianqin@njit.edu) or through Moodle anytime.  I will try to answer all your questions by every Friday evening if I can not respond you right away due to other activities.  Prerequisite(s): ChE undergraduate core courses including Thermodynamics, Kinetics and Reactor Design, and Transport Phenomena  Required Materials: The materials covered are mainly from the following text books:  1. Ronald M. Heck, Robert J. Farrauto, Suresh T. Gulati,  Catalytic Air Pollution Control (CAPC) , Third Edition, ISBN:9780470275030 |Online ISBN:9781118397749   2. John Meurig Thomas, W. John Thomas;  Principles and Practice of Heterogeneous Catalysis (PPHC), 2nd Edition, ISBN: 978-3-527-31458-4, Feb 2015, 768 pages  Course Description: This course is to introduce students (including MS and PhDs) to the fundamentals of catalysis in abating pollutant emissions and developing future environmentally friendly energy technologies. A review of catalysis fundamentals, including catalyst preparation methods and characterization techniques, and the correlation between structural properties and catalyst activities, will be covered. Several popular environmental processes including mobile and stationary pollution abatement technologies will be discussed, including automobile catalytic converters, diesel truck emission control, and catalytic abatement of chemical plant emissions. In addition, the use of catalysis for “green” alternative energy processes will also be reviewed including fuel cell systems, bio-fuel production, bio-fuel refining, and CO2 sequestration. For each technology, the discussion will cover both the chemistry occurring on the catalyst surface as well as the engineering involved in the overall process.   Course Outcomes (CO):  By the end of the course students should be able to:  1. Explain catalysis chemistry and catalytic reactor engineering 2. Understand the modern catalytic pollution abatement and emerging “green” catalytic processes;   3. Know different kinds of catalytic materials and their structural properties 4. Know different kinds of catalyst characterization techniques and data analysis from each technique 5. Understand structural and activity correlations   2 Assignments:  Homework: HW work assignments and exam problems will be posted in Moodle. You can submit your homework to the instructor either by email (xianqin@njit.edu) or post your homework on Moodle.   Group Project: Each group will design a creative system or unit using catalytic systems. The project should include a description of the design (draw pictures if necessary) (written report), and be presented to the whole class via Skype (presentation). The files must to be sent to the instructor one day before the presentation.    Written report:  15-20 page technical paper on approved topic with overview, presentation of present status and issues, analysis of sustainability options for the future, and references. All pages must be formatted to fit on 8-1/2 by 11 inch paper with no smaller than 12 point font and margins not less than one inch on every side.   Oral presentation: 25 minute formal oral presentation of the topic selected for the term paper plus 5 minutes of Q&A. The files must be sent to the instructor one day before the presentation.  Grading: Homework: 20% (200 pts) (individual effort) Group design project:  (group effort)  Written report: 20% (200 pts)    Oral presentation: 20% (200 pts) Midterm exam (take home) 20% (200 pts) (individual effort) Final exam (take home): 20% (200 pts) (individual effort)    Letter grades will be awarded for the following totals:  A   900  - 1000 pts B+  825  -  899 "  B  750 - 824   "  C+  700 - 749 "  C  650 - 699  "  F   less than 650   "    NJIT HONOR CODE: The NJIT honor code is being upheld on all issues related to the course.  Students are expected to be familiar with the code and conduct themselves accordingly.   Group activities policy: Each student will be asked at the end of the semester to confidentially rate his/her performance/effort as well as that of all his/her groupmates.  This rating will reflect the performance when the members were actually present.  The completed evaluation form has to be submitted either as a hard copy in a sealed envelope or as a word-file attached to an e-mail to the instructor.  Evaluation forms are due on reading day.  Submissions of forms after the  3 due date but before the final exam will result in a 75% reduction of credit that the student would have received if the form was submitted timely.    4  date week Tentative topics CAPC PPHC Homework 9/3/2018 week1 Introduction Ch1.
