The aim of the course is to introduce students to the physicochemical description of processes and phenomena occurring in membrane separation processes. The lectures will be focused on the physico-chemical description of the processes during their application to the different types of separation processes, i.e. I) pressure driven processes, II) gas and vapor separation and pervaporation, III) membrane distillation and electromembrane processes, and IV) other applications including medical applications. At first, students will be familiarized with the general theoretical description of transport processes (basics of linear irreversible thermodynamics and thermodynamics of open systems) and derived relationships will subsequently be applied. The students will also be familiarized with the membrane materials and methods their preparation and characterization. Finally, students will be introduced to the new trends in the field of materials research and industrial applications, including information on the practical aspects of scaling up and starting the operation of membrane processes.

Students will be able to apply acquired knowledge in various contexts. New theoretical and practical information mentioned in the subject will help to understand the connections between physical chemistry, polymer chemistry, chemical engineering, and industrial practice in the field of membrane separations.
