| Course objective | Separations are ubiquitous in chemical plants. Chemical engineering separation methods will be analyzed from the standpoint of equilibrium stage and rate based models. Application of rate based models and its importance will be highlighted in membrane separation and adsorption processes. Recent developments in separations process engineering or areas where substantial research and development studies are still undergoing will be covered. | |||||
