Content
Contents of the module are methods for characterizing the state of disperse material systems (particle systems), basics of material separation by filtration and sedimentation, especially in the centrifugal field, filtration with compressible filter cake, depth filtration of liquids, mixing processes as well as processes of agglomeration. Further contents of the module are the separation of molecular-disperse mixtures with the aid of rectification in tray columns (stage construction in the McCabe-Thiele diagram, different feed states and process control variants), physical absorption for gas separation and liquid-liquid extraction with cross-flow and counter-flow control, drying processes with emphasis on convection drying, the fundamentals of the separation processes adsorption, molecular distillation and gas permeation, as well as the physical and thermodynamic relationships and model approaches for dimensioning the respective apparatus and plants.
