Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Have knowledge of university courses in organic chemistry (chemical properties of functional groups), mathematics (differentiation, integration, functions and their graphs), statistical methods in chemistry (determination of averages and errors, MNC), physical chemistry and physical research methods in chemistry at the bachelor's level.
Course content
Features of structure and physicochemical properties of carbonaceous dispersed bodies are considered; basic laws of formation of carbon sorbents; basic methods of research of structural and chemical properties of these materials; modern approaches aimed at chemical modification of these materials in order to obtain carriers and sorbents with specified properties and catalytically active systems. Laboratory works are devoted to the study of physicochemical properties of the surface layer of modified carbon materials.
