Advanced Fluid Separation Processes

Course content

Graduates are able to identify advantageous applications for the unit operations absorption, chromatography, drying and membrane processes, design respective processes and the corresponding equipment for a given separation task in a quantitative manner. They account for aspects of process engineering functionality, economics, energy and resource efficiency. Equivalently, they are able to assess and optimize according to the above aspects existing processes and equipment solutions. Graduates know mass transport models of different complexity (1st and 2nd Ficks Law, Maxwell-Stefan) and can apply these. For the unit operations absorption, adsorption and extraction they know the principle advantages and disadvantages of an integration of reaction and separation as well as potential application. They can develop a process and equipment concept and are able to assess it.
