MODULE CONTENT
Chapter 1: Review of Important Definitions and Material Balance (1 week)
Objective: Review and consolidate the fundamental quantitative concepts of chemistry
Chapter 2: Crystal Chemistry (3 weeks)
Objective: Introduce students to the method of describing crystalline solids
Chapter 3: Periodicity and Properties of Elements (3 weeks)
Objective: Analyze in depth the properties of representative non-metallic elements (halogens, chalcogens, nitrogen, phosphorus, boron) and their compounds.
Chapter 4: Major Metallurgies (Fe, Ti, Cu, Mg) (4 weeks)
Objective: Understand the chemical principles and main processes of large-scale industrial metal extraction. Students should be able to explain the fundamental principles of metallurgical processes (such as reduction, electrolysis, etc.)
Chapter 5: Major Mineral Syntheses (4 weeks)
Objective: Understand the chemical principles, reaction conditions, technological processes, and industrial applications of essential inorganic compounds (sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, ammonia, nitric acid).
