Learning outcomes

This module has the following learning outcomes:

•    You select construction materials based on the process conditions.

•    You interpret forms of corrosion in terms of electrochemical processes and translate these into corrosion cells.

•    You apply various corrosion prevention techniques.

•    You understand electrolysis and fuel cell processes and perform calculations relating to them.

•    You carry out experiments on a semi-technical scale using a bench-scale electrolyser and fuel cell and use the results to analyse these processes.

•    You carry out corrosion experiments and analyse the results obtained.




Content

 


The Materials Science & Electrolysis module covers the following areas of the BOKS Chemical Technology curriculum:


Knowledge:

•    Materials science: material properties (metals, plastics, metal corrosion) and applications of materials

•    Chemistry: electrochemistry (redox reactions) 


Skills:

•    Experimenting with bench-scale electrolysers and fuel cells

•    Working safely in laboratory and industrial environments

•    Research skills and systematic problem-solving


The Materials Science & Electrolysis module covers construction materials (metals, plastics) used in industry and addresses electrochemical processes, including corrosion, electrolysis and fuel cells.
