Choosing and designing separation processes is of vital importance for product quality, energy demand, economy as well as for the environmental impact for many industries.
The aim is to give basic knowledge of the physical-chemical basis for different separation methods and to apply these for selection and design of industrial separation processes
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
for a given mixture of substances be able to judge what separation processes are reasonable based on available physical and chemical properties for those substances
be able to explain how different parameters affect the capacity, degree of separation and energy efficiency of a given separation process
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
be able to combine mass and energy balances with phase equilibria or design of various separation processes comprising equipment size, capacity, degree of separation and energy efficiency
present the solution of a separation problem orally and in writing
The course deals with with various methods for separation of compounds in gases, liquids or solids materials
The following issues are treated:
Laboratory assignments and project assignments are used to introduce separation methods as well as an opportunity for the students to apply their knowledge to separation problems in the chemical and biotechnical industry.
The engineeringĀ attitude to problem solving is stressed.
