Last Day to withdraw from this course:
  • Without financial penalty (full fee refund): Sunday, 3 March 2024
  • Without academic penalty (including no fee refund): Sunday, 12 May 2024

Description

Advanced topics in separation methods including: packed column and multicomponent distillations, evaporation, advanced membrane separations, adsorption, supercritical technology, separations in environmental engineering, sedimentation and centrifugation.

The course covers:
• Packed column distillation, multicomponent distillation
• Evaporation
• Membrane separations
• Pervaporation
• Adsorption processes
• Liquid-liquid extraction
• Air quality control
• Separations in environmental engineering
• Supercritical fluid technology

Learning Outcomes

  • Students should be able to:

  • 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.
