Aim

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

Learning outcomes

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

for some different separation processes be able to explain how different parameters affect the capacity, degree of separation and for thermal separation processes also how the energy efficiency is affected

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

individually as well as through cooperation with other student(s) be able to solve given, limited separation problems and then present such solution orally and in writing
