This course ‘Inorganic Materials of Industrial Importance’ will cater to 5th semester of CBCS based curricula of B.Sc. Chemistry and B.Sc. Physical Science (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) under the Discipline Specific Elective paper ‘Chemistry-DSE: ‘Inorganic Materials of Industrial Importance’. The course will cover following topics:
1. Recapitulation of s- and p-Block Elements,
2. Silicate Industries,
3. Fertilizers,
4. Surface Coatings,
5. Batteries,
6. Alloys,
7. Catalysis,
8. Chemical Explosives.
These topics will be covered in 12 weeks with intermediate assignments and will end with the final examination which will take an extra week.
This course will be beneficial for those students who have completed their B.Sc. and are preparing for certain competitive examinations. The advantage of the course may be taken by those students also who are pursuing Master’s degree in Chemistry and intend to brush up their basics.
