The course includes thermal separation processes in vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid, liquid-solid and gas-solid-liquid systems (distillation, absorption, extraction, drying and crystallization). The description of individual processes includes: theoretical and empirical correlations used, selection of the appropriate separation process and criteria for equipment selection, energy saving and environmental impact, experimential rules and guidelines for transferring results to a larger scale.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. To select the appropriate separation process based on the physico-chemical properties of the system and the corresponding phase equilibria.
2. To analyse thermal separation processes applied in the pharmaceutical and petroleum and petrochemical industry.
3. To identify the separation problem together with expressing it in a mathematical form.
4. To select the appropriate equipment for the separation of multi-component systems in the chemical process industry.
5. To combine empirical rules with scale-up rules for preliminary calculations of separation processes.
6. To assess the possibilities of energy saving and the impact of separation processes on the environment.
