LEVEL: Basic course in Process Engineering
Contact Pierre Antoine BONNEFONT, Raphael BOICHOT, Nadine COMMENGES-BERNOLE, Nicolas SERGENT, Lenka SVECOVA, Florence DRUARTContent(s)
A. Fluid/fluid staged separation processes
- Number of equilibrium stages, transfer units
- Estimation of yields and efficiencies
- Method for sizing a staged material transfer process (number of stages, column height and cross-section)
Examples of applications
Washing column (with or without reaction): CO2 absorption
Recovery process: Liquid/liquid extraction
Purification or recovery process: Distillation
Implementation of separation columns (operating point, clogging)
B. Physicochemical liquid/solid separation processes
* Coagulation, flocculation
* Decantation
* Frontal and tangential filtration
Design aspects and areas of application
C. Humid air
