The module belongs among the basic subjects of the inorganic technology specialization. In the frame of this module students obtain the knowledge from the field of phase equilibria of condensed systems, chemical equilibria and electrochemistry. Emphasis is given to theoretical principles as well as to their connection with real processes in chemical industry.
