Prof. Claudia Letizia Maddalena Bianchi

Argomenti del programma: Lessons by Prof. Albanese (Organic Chemistry 3 CFU) Hydrocarbon conversion processes: steam cracking for the synthesis of light olefins, alkylation and isomerisation processes for production of high-octane gasoline. Separation of C4 and C5 streams and use of conjugated diolefins thereof: butadiene, isoprene, cyclopentadiene. Higher olefins industrial manufacture by ethylene oligomerization and olefin metathesis.

• Lecture notes on ARIEL, including slides and examples of numerical scripts elaborated by the teacher.

Argomenti del programma: The course has two main objectives: 1) to foster a deep understanding of the computational structure of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology; 2) to apply this methodology in evaluating the sustainability of materials and processes. In pursuing these objectives, particular attention will be paid to defining and constructing systems of environmental impact indicators for use in the evaluation process.
