Separation Processes

This course covers concepts underlying separation processes. Equilibrium-based processes with staging and continuous contacting, distillation, absorption/stripping, liquid-liquid extraction, leaching. The use of analytical and graphical methods to design separation equipment. Membrane based separations, ion exchange and chromatography are also discussed. Prerequisites: CHE 201, CHE 210. CHE Instrumentation and Measurements (3.0); 3 cr. This course covers the spectroscopic, electro-analytical and chromatographic methods used to detect and analyze chemical compounds. Data acquisition, uncertainty and error analysis are discussed. The selection of sensors and other pick-up devices to be used in conjunction with data acquisition software are covered. Prerequisites: EEN 205, CHE 201.
