Advance Molecular Separations (AMS, 5 EC)

Course Description

In Advanced Molecular Separations, separation technology is discussed startingfrom molecular properties up to full scale processes.

The focus is on choosing a separation technology for givenmolecular properties, and the subsequent moleculardesign of more advanced separation technologies.

For two separation technologies, fluid separations and membrane technology,the molecular design and separation process are treated in much greater detail,including a discussion on useful models to describe thermodynamics and masstransfer.
