COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course provides basic information about unit operation and unit processes. The course covers the concept of various unit processers like halogenations, alkylation, oxidation, hydrogenation, nitration, sulfonation, esterification, hydrolysis and hydration. It provides an introduction to management practices in industry. The course provides important information regarding financial management, Marketing management, Operational management and Human resource management.It an introduction to mass transfer and introduces practical application in industry. Basic tools to design process operations involving mass transfer are covered. This course also aims to introduce the fundamentals of process development in chemical industries including its goals, stages, scopes and limitations .It also includes the topics related to the role of various parameters in the development of a particular chemical process
