CHEN 4310 Separation Processes
This course will discuss separation techniques that are used in the chemical industry for isolating components in mixtures, which have economical and environmental implications. We will use concepts of mass transfer and equilibrium to analyze some of the most common separation methods: flash distillation, continuous column distillation, absorption, stripping, and extraction. Students successfully completing the course will be able to design multiple cascade units and analyze process performance for a variety of separators in the chemical industry.
