Adv Separation Processes. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: CHE 612 , CHE 624 and CHE 626 or permission of instructor. Students having a background in undergraduate separations courses will be introduced to advanced concepts in separations. These include: descriptions of separation; forces causing separation in equilibrium, field and membrane separation processes; flux-force relations; chemical potential profiles; role of chemical reactions in separations; four different combinations of directions of force and bulk motions in separators; time-dependent processes. Advanced analysis of important individual separation processes of three types, namely, equilibrium-based, membrane-based and external field-based processes will be carried out.
