| Aim: The following objectives are listed in five levels, requiring increasing knowledge and depth of study. A pass in the course can be obtained by demonstrating an ability to be able to complete the first three levels. Higher grades require an ability to complete all levels of objectives. By the end of the course, students should be able to: (1) Demonstrate knowledge of facts: define absorption, adsorption, Fick’s law, Henry’s Law. (2) Explain and describe common separation techniques: describe extraction, distillation, batch distillation, ion exchange, membrane technologies, including the advantages and disadvantages of each and, in general terms, when they might be used. (3) Apply knowledge in order to design separation systems: perform flash calculations, calculate the appropriate parameters that define the size (e.g. height, diameter, number of stages…) of a piece of equipment that is to accomplish a given separation, calculate the separation that can be achieved in a specified piece of equipment, operate and take measurements from laboratory-scale separation equipment, relate these measurements to theory studied in class. (4) Use knowledge to analyse separation systems: analyse a given mixture and recommend the best separation system to achieve a given degree of separation, compare different separion options in order to recommend the best. (5) Combine knowledge from previous courses with knowledge learned in TFKI 08: use Simpson’s rule for numerical integration of Rayleigh’s equation, work in a team to accomplish a given task, prepare and present written reports, use Matlab to solve moderately complicated separation system design problems. |

| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Physical Chemistry, Engineering Thermodynamics, Chemical Engineering Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Supplementary courses: TFKI60 Process Design |
|||
| Organisation: Lectures and laboratory work |
|||
| Course contents: The course covers unit operations such as destillation, gas absorption, liquid-liquid extraction, leaching and crystallisation i.e. processes which involve mass transfer. Important factors for these transfer operations are discussed. The course also deals with calculation methods for designing of equipment with a specified level of separation. Membrane separation processes are discussed. The majority of the processes which are treated theoretically will also be investigated in laboratory work. |
