Annotation
Last update: Zámostný Petr prof. Ing. Ph.D. (19.02.2018)
Engineering of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Processes course is aimed at providing the understanding of the unit operations employed in the pharmaceutical industry, in the chemical part of API synthesis, as well as in the dosage form manufacturing. Operations or their aspects that are beyond the scope of general chemical engineering courses constitute the essential part of this course. The understanding of the unit operations and process principles is supported by substantial amount of insight into properties of particulate solids, considering their key role in contemporary solid dosage forms design and manufacturing, and also by introductory course into the process control and safety.
