COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course objectives

Qualifying students to analyze the chemical and physical processes at different stages of production of inorganic non-metallic materials including ecological aspects, quality control and quality assurance.

Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course

Enrolled in or passed the course Inorganic Materials

Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes)

After passing the course the student will be able to:
1. Conduct experiments on laboratory measuring equipment.
2. Perform measurements independently and within a team.
3. To analyze the chemical and/or physical processes according to preset conditions and material properties.
4. Interpret the results of experiments.
5 Create systems, system components and processes under defined conditions.
6. Recommendation of process parameters in order to optimize processes in the particular phases of selected inorganic non-metallic materials production.

Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus)

1. Determination of exchange capacity of clays. Characterisation of clay.
2. Application of thermal analysis (DTA-TG-DTG) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in the analysis of non-metallic materials.
3. Determination of porosity of the sintered ceramic body. Manufacturing ceramics by slip-casting technique in laboratory scale.
4. Determination of ”Mediterranean patinas” on the marble and limestone monuments including historic and cultural heritage monuments.
5. Determination of chemical resistance of inorganic pigments.
6. Field work - visit technological facilities of inorganic industry.

Format of instruction:

Student responsibilities

Implementation and analysis of selected processes according to preset conditions.
Each student is required to attend laboratory practice and field work (100%). On completion of all exercises the final written exam is obligated.

Quality assurance methods that ensure the acquisition of exit competences

Quality of the teaching and learning monitored at the level of the
(1) teachers, accepting suggestions of students and colleagues, and
(2) Faculty, conducting surveys of students on teaching quality.
