2nd level of studies / full-time
SCOPE
Fine chemicals (FCs) are formulations of chemicals containing one or more fine chemicals as active ingredients - serving both an immense range of a purity specification and ability to deliver a particular effect. FCs are thus identified according to their custom-designed properties and performance formulations.
FCs’ manufacturers produce a wide range of chemical substances, which are typically of a high added-value and produced in low volumes, mainly by batch processes in multipurpose plants.
Specifically there are following FC products categories:
• pharmaceutical products (chemical and biological processes),
• plant health products and biocides,
• specialty polymers,
• specialized surfactants and dispersed systems,
• dyes and pigments,
• polymer additives,
• neutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals and food additives,
• nanomaterials,
• catalysts for green chemistry and their applications in technological processes,
• benign chemical synthesis and processes,
• organic intermediates and custom-designed products.
The TFChem specialization will cover many aspects of the fine chemical industry, especially focusing on:
• products manufacturing,
• knowledge about processes occurring at the interfaces,
• design and feasibility study of technological process,
• production control and quality management,
• quantitative and qualitative analytical methods and techniques utilized in various branches of industry related to fine chemicals,
• identification and testing of polymers, polymers additives, plastics and textiles
• safety, health, environmental, as well as REACH regulation or other regulatory issues of the fabrication processes.
EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL 
• Independent positions, e.g., employee of the Research and Development in chemical industry, specialist in the chemical development, the quality control specialist in industries such as chemical and pharmaceutical industries, biotechnology and cosmetic processing, processing and manufacturing of specialized polymers, processing of food products, agrochemicals, specialist in research institutions and public administration associated with a low-volume production.
• Independent activity in Small and Medium Business in the field of fine chemicals.
