Education level First cycle Grade scale G U 3 4 5 Subject Chemical Engineering Subject group (SCB) Chemical Engineering Entry requirementsIn order to meet the general entry requirements for first cycle studies you must have successfully completed upper secondary education and documented skills in English language and Chemical Principles (K0016K, Physics 1 (F0004T, Physics 3 (F0006T), Linear Algebra and Differential Equations (M0031M), Transport Processes (B0003K) and good knowledge in English, equivalent to English 6 More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on 1-165 credits.Course AimThe course goal is to give students opportunity to acquire the principles of operation of different chemical separation processes. After completion of the course the students should: • possess an overview of different separation processes • understand the relationship between thermodynamics and separation processes • develop a good understanding of the factors that affect the function of unit operations • be able to perform design calculations for unit operations • explain the relationship between the construction and operation of chemical process equipment • be able to describe and use representative process simulation programs to perform unit operation simulations • develop ability to use representative simulation program to model unit operations • be able to design, conduct, and analyse experimental workContentsThe course is a survey of separation technology and unit operations and includes the following topics:• Thermodynamic background for separation processes • Single and multistage systems • Column operations and contact equipment • Binary and multicomponent distillation • Leaching and extraction • Thermal processing • Humidification and absorption • Chromatographic separation processes • Mathematical modelling of separation processes with representative softwareRealizationThe course consists of lectures, calculation sessions, and laboratories. Lectures cover the theory of the various transport processes. The calculation sessions cover problem solutions and examples based on the lectures. The laboratories cover key point from the lectures and given students practical experience with chemical process equipment.ExaminationThe examination will be comprehensive on the course material and include both theory and calculation parts.RemarksThe course B0004K is equal to KGB007 The course is given on a basic level on the Master’s programme Chemical Engineering Design.
