Examination dates

Annotation -

The target of this subject is to make students familiar with modern approach to the description and optimisation of the electrochemical processes. The subject is based on the knowledge gained in the basic course of chemical engineering and physical chemistry. This knowledge is applied to the problems of technical electrochemistry. Theoretical lectures are accompanied by the seminaries allowing by the means of modern methods of mathematical modeling more detailed understanding of the studied phenomena.
