4.0 Unit operations 2

Course Description:
Overview on gas absorption, humidification and dehumidification processes, studying different processes like evaporation, drying, leaching, extraction and crystallization.

Course Outline:
Chapter 1: fundamentals concepts (separation processes, thermodynamics of separation processes, mass transfer and diffusion). Chapter 2: separation by phase addition or creation (absorption and stripping, distillation of binary mixtures, liquid-liquid extraction). Chapter 3: separation by barriers and solid agents (membrane separation, adsorption and ion exchange). Chapter 4: separation that involve a solid phase.
