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.

Prerequisite

Students need a grade of "C" or better in CHEN 3320 and CHEN 3330 prior to enrolling in this course.
