Chemical Engineering

Educational objectives

GENERAL PURPOSE: The activity aims to introduce master's students to the world of work, through attendance at thematic, professionalizing and motivational seminars, given by representatives of Italian and international companies and research centers operating in the world of chemical engineering, pharmaceutical engineering and materials engineering.

SPECIFIC PURPOSES: With specific reference to Dublin descriptors

1. knowledge and understanding (Dublin descriptor A) of the most relevant, complex and urgent issues in the world of chemical engineering in the broad sense, as expressed by the main stakeholders of the Degree Programme.

2. ability to apply the knowledge and understanding (descriptor B) acquired during the fundamental courses to the real challenges of modern engineering, as exemplified and elaborated upon by key stakeholders

3. increased awareness of the impact on society and the non-technical implications of the engineering solutions adopted; ability to understand professional and ethical responsibilities through exchanges with representatives of the profession (descriptor C).

4. acquisition of clear indications on the teamwork skills and personal communication skills required for professional roles held in companies and research centres (descriptor D).

Educational objectives

The course provides the tools to interpret metallurgical processes as industrial systems in which raw materials and scrap, transformation operations, equipment, energy, quality control, products, and secondary streams jointly determine the performance of the production route. By the end of the course, the student will be able to:
• analyze and compare complete metallurgical routes, identifying their operations, equipment, streams, and key operating variables;
• interpret system maps, flowsheets, and PFDs, and distinguish their purpose and content from P&IDs;
• evaluate the impact of feed quality and variability on process performance and product characteristics;
• identify control points and quality gates, distinguishing between correctable anomalies and limitations imposed by the feed material;
• compare conventional and innovative solutions, considering quality, energy, emissions, recycling, and residue valorization;
• develop and communicate a coherent proposal for integrating a metallurgical route and its associated secondary streams.
