Annotation -
Emphasis is put on the theory and application of modern separation processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Students gain a background suitable for design, control and intensification of separation processes. The course embraces elements of chemical engineering, physical chemistry, mathematics and analytical chemistry. The understanding of preparative liquid chromatography and adsorption processes is supported by including lessons focused on adsorption theory and determination of adsorption isotherms.
