Course descriptionSeparation processes introduces an equilibrium stage approach to absorption/stripping, distillation, solvent extraction. Graphical methods are introduced as well as the concepts of minimum number of stages, minimum solvent or stripping agent rate and minimum reflux ratio.

The concept of humidity and the use of psychrometric charts are introduced.

In addition, training in group and collaborative working and communication skills is undertaken. Two laboratory sessions on separation processes are undertaken as part of this course.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Students should be able to:
- perform graphical or algebraic design calculations for binary distillation, absorption from insoluble carrier gas into a non-volatile solvent, desorption from non-volatile solvent into an insoluble carrier gas and solvent extraction cascades for type II systems.
- select feasible solvent/stripping agent rates and reflux ratios
- describe the principles by which economic reflux ratios are selected.
- Determine the properties of humid air using a psychrometric chart.
