Students learn the operation of mixtures of solid-liquid, solid-gas based on the difference in the transportation rate of materials, for instance sedimentation, centrifugation, filtration, membrane separation, humidity control, drying and adsorption. In addition, a lecture on the basics of agitation, which is a mixing operation is given.
The goal is to learn the principles, operation and design methods of solid-liquid separation, humidity control, drying, and adsorption operation used in chemical plants.
Mechanical separation and mixing process, humidity control, drying, adsorption
