Summary
Students will learn the fundamentals concepts of the separation processes. Students will employ these concepts to design equilibrium-stage and diffusional processes for the separation of homogeneous chemical mixture.
Intended Learning Outcome
By the end of the course, students should be able to
Ø Calculate composition of streams leaving a separation process using the concepts of mass and energy balances, phase equilibria, mass transfer and diffusion.
Ø Design the separation process (number of equilibrium-stages, height, diameter, etc.) for the desired outlet concentration from a given feed.
Ø Identify the optimal separation process for a given chemical stream by comparing the energy footprint of several processes for the needed separation.
