Of all faculties

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students obtain practice knowledge with plasmachemistry background, plasma diagnostics and with selected plasmachemical applications and technologies in laboratory scale, too.

Prerequisites

Practice couses from inorganic and physical chemistry and practical course from physics.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Working group gives one protocol form each practical task together. The classification is dependent on the average protocol level and also on the work during the exercises.

Course curriculum

List of tasks:
1. Low pressure measuring
2. EPR spectroscopy of plasma
3. RF discharge at low pressure
4. Optical emission spectroscopy of plasma
5. VOC destruction in atmosperic pressure plasma
6. Hydrogen peroxide generation by diaphragm discharge in liquids

Aims

The course gives the practice knowledge in plasmachemistry background, plasma diagnostics and with some plasmachemical applications and technologies, too.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance is required and preparedness for independent working on the experiment is checked by teacher. Students work in small groups (usually two students).
