1.1 Course Objectives

The main objective of this course is to familiarise chemical engineering students with the
fundamental principles of Separation Processes. This course is part B of the first semester
Separation Processes courses. This course will mostly look at Rate-controlled processes eg.
Membranes.

By the end of the course students should be able to:

 Apply and perform calculations on various membrane processes.


 Solve problems related to crystallisation processes.

 Perform calculations related to adsorption and ion exchange processes.

 Appreciate key concepts related to evaporation, chromatography and perform


calculations.
