Learning outcomes
The course is aimed at giving fundamentals in the field of inorganic environmental chemistry. The aim is to gain awareness of environmental consequences of inorganic compounds associated to human activities.
Course contents
The course is aimed at acquiring basic knowledge in the field of inorganic chemistry concerning environmental aspects. The aim is to gain awareness of environmental consequences of inorganic compounds due to human activities, for example concerning energy production from fossil fuels and from alternative resources. Some basic knowledge in the field of organometallic chemistry will be provided in order to understand the environmental impact due to increasing diffusion of compounds with metal-carbon bonds, introduced in commercial products and industrial processes. Fundamentals concerning bioinorganic chemistry will be presented to understand some aspects of the interaction between inorganic compounds and living systems.
