The aim of the course:
The students should determine hydrolysis and degradation of cellulose in lignocellulosic materials during chemical processes.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : determine reasons of hydrolysis and degradation of cellulose in lignocellulosic materials2,3,6,91,2,4
PO - 2 : determine degradation degree of cellulose in hydrolysis mechanism2,3,6,91,2,4
PO - 3 : determine the effects of hydrolysis on cellulose properties 2,3,6,91,2,4
PO - 4 : control hydrolysis of cellulose in lignocellulosic materials during chemical processes 2,3,6,91,2,4
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
