Course learning outcomes

  1. CLO 1: Explains the theoretical basis of mass transfer processes, material balance and driving force

  2. CLO 2: Analyzes the working principles and kinetic laws of absorption, rectification, membrane separation and filtration processes.

  3. CLO 3: Performs engineering calculations based on material balance and phase equilibria for mass transfer processes.

  4. CLO 4: Compares various separation methods (absorption, rectification, membrane separation, filtration) and selects the optimal method for a given technological process.

  5. CLO 5: It explains the working principles of the equipment used in separation processes (absorbers, rectification columns, membrane modules, filters and centrifuges) and evaluates their application areas.

  6. CLO 6: Evaluating the efficiency of separation processes in the chemical industry from a technical, economic and ecological point of view, it makes reasonable proposals for process optimization.
