Form of course completion: colloquium

• Introduction to the solid phase reactions.
• Crystallisation-nucleation and crystal growth, diffusion.
• Crystallisation of melts. Modification changes. Thermal decomposition of solids.
• Reaction of solids with liquids, gases, reactions of two solid substances.
• Kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions, enzyme catalysis, heterogeneous non-catalytic reactions, physical processes limiting the kinetics of technological processes-diffusion, adsorption, new phase production.
• Corrosion, types of corrosion. Corrosion processes, thermodynamics and kinetics of corrosion processes, corrosion cells.
• Methods for study of the kinetics and reaction mechanisms of solid phase reactions.
