This course develops further the study of separation methods introduced in ENCH396. It aims to provide understanding of, and the ability to analyse, a wider range of process separation units.
The course covers:• Packed column distillation, multicomponent distillation• Evaporation• Membrane separations• Pervaporation• Adsorption processes• Liquid-liquid extraction• Air quality control• Separations in environmental engineering• Centrifugation• Supercritical fluid technology
Develop process designs for any of the separations covered with a fundamental understanding of the physical and chemical phenomena occurring.Carry out detailed design calculations for separation processes.Be able to select the appropriate technology for a particular separation and thus provides knowledge and skills needed in ENCH494 (Process Design 3) and useful to chemical and process engineering graduates.
