Separation Technology
About
About the course
Course content
The course is a standard theoretical course with some practical laboratory work. The theoretical course treats the theory of mass transfer unit operations with applications to distillation, absorption, extraction, leaching, drying, air conditioning, adsorption, membrane separation, crystallisation plus a short introduction to process control. The laboratory experiments are part of the basic process laboratory, and will be marked as part of the final grade for the course.
Learning outcome
The subject aims at giving knowledge of the principles and the equipment used for separation in chemical industry, all types included.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and theoretical exercises (certain number compulsory). The final mark will be based upon a written exam (80%) and the laboratory grading (20%). If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
Recommended previous knowledge
Basic knowledge of physical chemistry and chemical enginering.
Course materials
