Description

Advanced topics in separation methods including: selection of separation methods, membrane separations, pervaporation, ion exchange, adsorption, multi-component distillation, and liquid-liquid extraction.

Additional Advanced topics in separation methods including: packed column distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, advanced adsorption processes, advanced membrane separation, particle technology, supercritical technology, advanced drying and (de-) humidification.

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 and thus 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:
• Drying technology and (de-) humidification    
• Packed column and multi-component distillation          
• Advanced membrane separation    
• Advanced adsorption processes    
• Separations in environmental engineering    
• Introduction to supercritical technology

Learning Outcomes

  • 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.
