COURSE OBJECTIVE
The course enables students to understand the basic principles of operation of the most technically applicable separations, including sorption separations, adsorption, ion exchange, and membrane separation procedures, as the most advanced technological procedures for separating mixtures at the ionic-molecular level. Students will be particularly introduced to the industrial application of separation processes of adsorption, ion exchange, and membrane operations.
COURSE IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
1.-5. week:
Adsorption: introduction, factors influencing adsorption, types of adsorption, types and properties of adsorbents, types of adsorption isotherms (Freundlich, Langmuir, B.E.T., Dubinin-Polanyi, extended and other theories; Adsorption equilibrium of one-component and multicomponent systems, Adsorption kinetics and dynamics in column, Adsorption processes - batch, semi-continuous and continuous. Breakthrough curve, Regeneration methods
Laboratory exercise: adsorption
Seminar: tasks from adsorption equilibria
6.-8. week:
Ion exchange: Basic principles of ion exchange, types and properties of ion exchange resins, ion exchange equilibrium, ion exchange cycle, ion exchange systems
9.-14. week:
Membrane separations: Classification of membranes and membrane operations; Membranes - preparation and characterization, Membrane modules, Membrane permeations - gas permeation, gas diffusion, pervaporation, membrane distillation; Pressure membrane separations - reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration; Mass transfer, permeate flux, Fouling and biofouling in pressure driven processes, Retention principles and separation models; Electrical membrane separations - Electrodialysis; Membrane electrolysis, Bipolar membranes, Membrane reactors and membrane bioreactors.
Laboratory exercise: examination of separation and flow characteristics of reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes
15. week:
Other advanced molecular separations: extraction under supercritical conditions, chromatography, crystallization
