Module description

Unit operations are central to the chemical engineering industry, and the processes therein often involve particulate solids and separation of the components of a mixture. In this module you will further your knowledge about separation processes, such as absorption, distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, leaching, evaporation, crystallisation, drying, filtration and membrane processes. Adsorption and ion-exchange processes will also be covered in the scope of chromatographic separations. You will learn about particulate solids, from their properties and characterisation, to processing and separation techniques. Process intensification and sustainability considerations will also be given in the scope of process plant design.
