11. Advance Molecular Separations (AMS, 5 EC)
Course Description
In Advanced Molecular Separations, separation technology is discussed starting from molecular properties up to full scale processes.
The focus is on choosing a separation technology for given molecular properties, and the subsequent molecular design 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 mass transfer.
