Learning outcomes
Knowledge
Capability to design a separation process of gas or liquid mixtures using the more effective discriminating properties among the components, in relation to the composition of the starting mixture and the purpose of the separation. Familiarity with the tools of the mass and energy balances in industrial separation processes. Use of thermodynamic information for the design of a separation process at a theoretical stage and of physical information for the design of a real plant.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
In the written exam (3 hours, 8 essay questions), the student must demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material and to organise an effective and correctly written reply. During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material and be able to discuss the reading matter thoughtfully and with propriety of expression. The student must also demonstrate familiarity in the use of mass and energy balances, as well as with the use of thermodynamic and physical concepts.

Syllabus
Principles of applied thermodynamic and use of the thermodynamic information for the design of a separation process. Gas or liquid mixtures: properties discriminating the behaviour of their components under specific conditions (relative volatility, miscibility solubility, absorption and adsorption capacities). Design of mixtures separation by liquid-liquid extraction, distillation techniques, absorption, adsorption. Criteria for the design of plate-towers or packed towers plants, as well as continuous or batch processes.
