Notes

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 operations and 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.  The course will cover the following topics:

Packed column distillation and design                  
Liquid-liquid extraction (binary/tertiary)
Advanced adsorption processes    
Advanced membrane separation
Particle technology    
Introduction to supercritical technology
Advanced drying technology and (de-) humidification  (SSP)
