Separation Processes
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course aims to introduce the most common unit operations in the chemical engineering industry, their industrial application areas, how they are dimensioned, and the physical and chemical principles on which they are based. Methods of calculating design parametres for equipment and degree of separation for the following separation methods are included: filtration, evaporation, dehydration, destillation, absorption, extraction, and leaching. Methods for calculating the energy consumption of evaporation, destillation, and dehydration are treated. The course also covers overview of process diagrams, material and energy flows, as well as phase equilibrium.
Instruction is in the form of lectures, calculation exercises, and laboratory sessions.
