This module aims to allow the student to consolidate the concepts learned during the Industrial Technologies course, with practical exercises and laboratory activities. Some of the industrial processes studied in depth during the course will be further investigated, analyzing the flows of material and energy input and output, defining the degree of progress of reactions and the process efficiency. As regards the chemicals covered in the course, laboratory activities based on their use will be proposed, in order to understand in detail their properties and the main areas of application. |

| Educational objectives |
The teaching activities proposed in this module will provide the skills needed to define, for a generic industrial process, the following parameters: - mass balance of the system, inlet and outlet flow rates from a plant; - energy balance; - degree of progress of the reactions involved; - degree of conversion of the reagents used; - alternative solutions to improve the yield of the process. Students will also have to acquire the skills needed to correctly use the chemicals studied in the theoretical module. |
| Prerequisites |
Base knowledge of mathematics, physics and thermodynamics. Knowledge and compliance with the main safety and behavioral rules for laboratory activities. |
| Teaching methods |
Students enrolled in the course will have to face practical exercises, which may include the use of calculators, and group activities in the laboratory. |

| Learning verification modality |
The verification of the educational objectives of the course includes an oral exam. It consists of a discussion lasting between 20 and 40 minutes, aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge of the theoretical and methodological contents provided and detailed in the program. The oral exam also aims to verify the communication and organic synthesis skills, as well as the student's command of language in relation to the theoretical and practical topics covered. The final evaluation will be made in thirtieths by the commission. The oral exam can be taken individually for each module or simultaneously for both modules of the course.

The course aims to study in depth the various topics related to the unit operations of chemical engineering and their use in the processes relevant to the transformations and use of energy resources. The course aims to show and study in depth the most common types of chemical plants. Similarly, the main chemical processes will be studied in depth. In detail: transformations of the raw materials energy necessary to satisfy the requirements of industrial use of fuels; processes of production and transformation of synthesis gas, reduction of combustion pollutants from fixed and mobile sources, main inorganic bulk chemicals. The processes will be analyzed starting from the respective basic concepts in the thermodynamic, kinetic and plant fields. On the basis of this, details will be provided regarding their design and operating principles. |

| Educational objectives |
Students must know and be able to describe the main refinery processes, with particular attention to the processes of transformation of raw materials into final products (in particular the processes of hydrogen production and those related to the production of hydrocarbons typical of gasoline and diesel). Students must also be able to define and understand mass and energy balances of an energy conversion/production plant. Since the energy and commodity sectors are still strongly dependent on refinery processes and the use of fossil fuels, this course aims to describe these processes in detail, providing students with the tools to understand their actual environmental impact and the possibilities of replacing these processes with more sustainable solutions. |
| Prerequisites |
General concepts of thermodynamics. Knowledge of the main components of industrial plants. Basic notions of organic chemistry. |
| Teaching methods |
The course is structured in: 1) classroom lectures on all program topics with discussion with students; 2) seminar-style face-to-face lectures with projector support; 3) practical in-lab activities. |
