Synopsis
: This course module introduces different types of chemical processes and equipments
involved in the chemical and other physical processing industries such as
sedimentation, centrifugation, filtration, leaching, crystallisation, distillation,
absorption, extraction, adsorption and membrane separation processes. It also
introduces the simple mass transfer principles involved during the separation
operationsan. This module also provides opportunity to operate pilot scale unit
operations (small scale industrial version) eg. Distillation column, reactors, filtration
equipment, extractor etc.
Learning Outcomes
: By the end of the course, students should be able to:
By the end of the course, students should be able to:
i. Operate the different chemical processes and equipments involved in the chemical
industries such as crystallisation, distillation, absorption and filtration process.
ii. Calculate the filter and cake resistance of a filter press and rotary drum filters
iii. Calculate the number of equilibrium stages obtained graphically and
mathematically in absorption
iv. Determine the number of theoritical stages involved in a distillation process by
graphical means.
v. Determine the number of stages in an ultrafiltration process
vi. Cooperate in team working as part of a group of engineering students working to
solve chemical engineering problems.
