| Purpose: The aim of this module is to deepen the students' knowledge of separation principles by focussing on multicomponent gas absorption/stripping, extraction, crystallization and multiple-effect evaporation operations. Efficient short-cut methods for multi-components separations will be explored and thereafter the principles behind accurate numerical solution procedures for multicomponent distillation and absorption/stripping processes will be briefly introduced. The basic design principles and optimal process stages for multiple stage evaporation and crystallization processes will be considered. This module is part of the Advanced Diploma in Chemical Engineering. The knowledge obtained in this course will assist students with troubleshooting, optimisation and designing of a complex separation systems in a chemical plant.
