Annotation -
The course focuses on 1) more detail chemical-engineering description of several industrial mass-transfer driven separation processes 2) description of the diffusion processes in the homogenous media and in the vicinity of the interface. Effect of the homogenous and heterogenous chemical reaction accompanying the diffusion processes is also described.
