Separation Processes 1

Prerequisite : SKKK 2313
Synopsis

;

 : This course introduces different types of unit operations involved in the chemical and other physical processing industries such as humidification, absorption, distillation, liquid-liquid extraction and solid-liquid extraction (leaching). It also deals with design of separation operations using mass transfer principles.
Course Outcomes : By the end of the course, students should be able to:

i.  Explain the differences of unit operation involved in the chemical industries

ii. Calculate the number of equilibrium stages for plate tower or height/diameter for packed tower in gas-liquid separation

iii. Compare the number of equilibrium stages obtained by graphically and mathematically in absorption or distillation process

iv.  Design a distillation column for binary mixture or multi-component system using McCabe Thiele method or short-cut design respectively.

v. Determine the number of equilibrium stages and the composition of solute leaving for liquid-liquid extraction and solid- liquid extraction

vi. Choose to commit to seek knowledge in literature of separation process.
