Average Course Rating

This course covers separation and purification processes (adsorption, absorption, membranes, distillation, chromatography, etc.) critical to the production of chemicals, materials, clean water, safe food, energy and pharmaceuticals. It also covers separations as applied in recycling and reuse and in mitigation of pollution. Integration of separation processes with reactors for intensified processes and reactive separations are also discussed. Emphasis is given on fundamentals of mass transfer processes and how they can be integrated for process design and process scale assessment.
