| Aim: To enable the participants to select and construct technically important separation processes, in particular distillation and liquid-liquid extraction, to evaluate thermodynamic models for calculation of the properties of pure components and mixtures and to work with numerical, computer based methods for dimensioning and designing separation processes. |
Contents: Basic separation processes: Single stage separation. Flash separation. Binary and multicomponent distillation. Liquid-liquid extraction. Extraction cascades.
Special separation processes: Selected topics, such as azeotropic distillation, extractive distillation, reactive distillation, supercritical extraction.
Thermodynamic model description: Vapour pressure, activity coefficient models, equations of state. Vapour-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibrium.
Databar exercises with programming. Flash and saturation points. Binary and multicomponent distillation. Liquid-liquid extraction. Simulation of special and selected processes. |
