Last update: Melzoch Karel prof. Ing. CSc. (17.09.2023)
The subject "Separation Methods in Biotechnology" expands students knowledge oriented towards engineering and technical aspects of biotechnological processes. Students will become familiar with separation processes as unit operations, their principles, roles and inclusion into biotechnologies.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Melzoch Karel prof. Ing. CSc. (17.09.2023)

Students will be able to:

Define the structure of biotechnological process

Undersand the bioprocesses from engineering perspective

Describe the separation processes as a unit operation

Describe the function and role separation processes in biotechnology

Define the fundamental principles of separation processes

Integrate the separation processes into biotechnology

Select suitable separation process with regard to the requirements for quality and purity of the product

Choose the sequence of separation processes, particularly in the isolation, purification and finishing of the product

Optimize the separation processes in the up-stream and down-stream processing

Clasify separation techniques in terms of efficiency and economy

As part of the exercise, students will prepare and present a case study on a topic from the area of separation processes, for which they will receive credit.
