The course begins with a review of traditional separation processes such as distillation, evaporation, extraction, crystallization and absorption. New topics in separation which are covered include pressure swing adsorption, molecular sieves, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, microfiltration, nano-filtration, ultrafiltration, diafiltration, gas permeation, pervaporation, supercritical fluid extraction, and liquid chromatography. Industrial applications, design considerations, and engineering analysis of these separation topics are covered.
