Separationsprocesser i bioteknik
Downstream Processing in Biotechnology

KBTN05, 7,5 credits, A (Second Cycle)

Valid for: 2018/19
Decided by: PLED B/K
Date of Decision: 2018-03-21

General Information

Main field: Biotechnology.
Main field: Food Technology and Nutrition.
Elective for: B4-pt, K5-p, MBIO2, MLIV2, W5-p
Language of instruction: The course will be given in English

Aim

Reactions decide whether a process is possible or not, whereas separation processes decide whether a process is profitable or not. Selection and proper design of unit operations also have great impact on yield and product purity. Separation processes are therefore key components in pharmaceutical-, biotechnology-, food- and chemical industries.

The aim of the course is to
