Annotation
Last update: Hasal Pavel prof. Ing. CSc. (19.11.2012)
The aim of the course is to teach students principles of chosen separation processes most frequently used in practical technologies. Principles of mass transport mechanisms, phase equilibria and arrangement of separation processes are generally described and then mathematical description is used. Special attention is devoted to membrane separations.
Aim of the course
Last update: Hasal Pavel prof. Ing. CSc. (19.11.2012)

The students acquire knowledge necessary for both verbal and mathematical description of selected separation processes. Students know principles of mass and energy transport phenomema, phase equilibria and mass and energy balancing of separation processes. They are able to describe principles of separation processes, know their applications and are able to set-up their mathematical models. They know to solve problems concerning separation processes and to design separation equipment dimensions.
