| Participant limitation: Min. 10 |
| Aim: Proper design af separation equipment in the chemical and biochemical industry as well as in tge oil and gas area requires knowledge (measurements and / or estimations) of the physicalchemical properties of the mixtures, which are to be separates. Such knowledge is required for a wide range of compounds from simple hydrocarbons and usual solvents such as water, acetone and ethanol to very complex materials such as polymers, electrolytes and pharmaceuticals. Others new applications are found e.g. in environmental assessments. |
Contents: To give to the participants knowledge of a number of principles, models and tools, which can be used for estimating the properties of mixtures, both at low and high pressures, and to show how the physical-chemical models can be used for the estimation of phase equilibria of multicomponent mixtures and for various types of phase equilibria (vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid, gas-solid, liquid-solid) as well as for equilibria with supercritical fluids.
To review the important concepts and definitions from technical thermodynamics (ideal solution, reference states, fugacity, activity and activity coefficient).
To review the importance of the various intermolecular forces and to provide the theoretical basis for the most important activity coefficient models and equations of state. To present some important theories for hydrogen bonding and polymer solutions. |
| Remarks: The course is important for master thesis projects in the area of thermodynamics and separation processes. |
