In this course you will become acquainted with a variety of aspects of industrial chemistry, meaning typically larger scale chemistry that is carried out in a commercial setting in industry. You will become familiar with and learn to apply the following aspects of industrial chemistry:
- Molecular discovery: how to determine which molecules will be produced
- Scale-up: how do you increase the scale of the reaction?
- Quality assurance/Good Manufacturing Practices: how do you reproducibly produce pure compounds under safe circumstances?
- Process Analytical Technology: How do you control and analyze larger scale reactions?
- Sustainable production: how do you produce chemicals in a sustainable manner?

In each lecture a specific aspect of larger scale industrial manufacturing is highlighted, either by one of the lecturers or a guest-lecturer from industry. The lecture will be followed by an assignment on that topic, in which you have to reflect on these aspects for a given production process. The assignments will be graded and the average will be the final grade for the course.
