Advanced topics in separation methods including: packed column distillation, evaporation, mass-transfer fundamentals in separations, advanced membrane separation, supercritical technology, sedimentation and centrifugation.
AIM: 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. The course 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 and multi-component distillations • Evaporation • Membrane separations• Rapid/slow sand filtration • Adsorption processes • Introduction to supercritical technology (Invited lecturer)• Separations in water and waste waster engineering • Pervaporation • Mechanical separations• Separations in air quality control
At the end of the course the students are expected to be able to: • Develop process designs for any of the separations covered with a fundamental understanding of the physical and chemical phenomena occurring. • Be able to select appropriate separation techniques for chemical processing from separations covered in ENCH396, ENCH496 and others. • Carry out detailed design calculations for separation processes.
