| Outline and Purpose of the Course | In petrochemistry, organic intermediates are synthesized highly efficiently using a reaction that is completely different from that described in textbooks on organic chemistry. High efficiency means having low consumption of energy and resources, and a low environmental impact. Lectures will discuss the current state of industrial organic chemistry and reference manufacturing processes centered on petrochemistry and fermentation. | |||
| Course Goals | To understand the current state of the organic chemical industry based on the current economic climate, and to understand the characteristics of large-scale chemical product manufacturing and the basics needed to maintain its processes. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Current state of carbon resources, history of the organic chemical industry, and the use of natural gas, 2 sessions Students are given an overview on the current state of carbon resources such as petroleum, coal, natural gas, and biomass, as well as on the future outlook of energy supply and demand and the properties of carbon resources. Following this, the history of industrial organic chemistry is outlined alongside the chemical utilization of natural gas and utilization of biomass, which are expected to become increasingly important in the future. [Mae professor] Petroleum products, petroleum refining, steam cracking, 2 sessions The properties required for the safe use of petroleum products such as gasoline, kerosene, and light oil are outlined, along with chemical processes such as desulfurization, decomposition, and reforming, which are required to produce petroleum products. Following this, students are given an overview of the synthesis of ethylene, propylene, and BTX, which are the main materials in petrochemistry, and are taught the methods by which each product is isolated from complex mixtures (distillation, extraction, extractive distillation). [Professor Kondo] Oxidation reactions and acid catalyst reactions, 3 sessions Students are given a general overview of the characteristic reactions of petrochemistry that use air as an oxidant and are taught about the characteristics of catalysts that enable such reactions. In addition, special oxidation reactions such as ammoxidation, acetoxylation, and oxychlorination are explained, before briefly covering dehydrogenation reactions and oxidative dehydrogenation reactions. Following this, acid catalyst reactions such as esterification reactions, aromatic alkylation reactions, and hydration reactions are then outlined, alongside the characteristics of solid acid catalysts. [Professor Tanaka (Tsune)] Chemistry of olefins, aromatic compounds and petrochemical secondary derivatives, 2 sessions The conversion reactions of aromatic residues known as ethylene, propylene, C4 olefins, and BTX are explained using specific examples of each. In addition, students are taught industrial organic chemistry of secondary derivatives made from materials such as ethylene oxide, acetaldehyde, and acetone. Following this, the synthesis of chemical products from BTX secondary derivatives is summarized. [Professor Ohe] Homogeneous catalytic reactions, 1 session After giving an overview of complex catalysts, students are taught about processes of acetic acid synthesis using complex catalysts (Wacker process, oxo process, and Monsanto process). In addition, students briefly touch on the topic of complex-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis that uses cross-coupling reactions, alkene metathesis reactions, and chiral ligands. [Professor Ohe] Bioprocesses, 2 sessions An overview is given on the industrialized fermentation process and its principles. In addition, while using specific examples, students are taught basic strategies and methods for screening microorganisms and enzymes, enhancing activity, improving selectivity, regenerating coenzymes, and removing feedback inhibition, etc., which are needed for the commercialization of bioprocesses. [Professor Atomi] Flow sheets and material balances, 2 sessions Flow sheets and material balance sheets are the most important materials when it comes to chemical processes. Therefore, students are taught how to read outline flow sheets used in lectures and are given a brief explanation on detailed flow sheets. In addition, students are taught the basics of stoichiometry, as well as key points in reading and preparing detailed material balance sheets. [Professor Kawase] Feedback lecture, 1 session Lectures and examination contents are explained to students to improve their degree of learning (details are given during lecture or on KULASIS).

| Evaluation Methods and Policy | Questions on an end-of-term examination are given by all professor, with marks alloted to the questions being proportional to the total lecture time of each professor. The final grade is determined mainly by students’ results on the end-of-term examination, and to a smaller degree, their performance in teaching sessions. | |||
| Course Requirements | Lectures are given under the assumption that students have taken “Organic Chemistry: Fundamentals and Exercises” and “Fundamentals of Chemical Process Engineering,” which are offered in the first half of the second year. | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Before attending teaching sessions, it would be advisable for students to read reference books to acquire knowledge on the formation and current state of the petrochemical industry in 2021. In addition, students will deepen their comprehensive understanding of industrial organic chemistry and their knowledge on process technology and other matters by reviewing materials distributed during teaching sessions and answering questions on short tests conducted in each teaching session. It would also be advisable for students to devote twice the amount of time spent in teaching sessions to review and prepare for the next session. | |||
