Last update: Štěpánek František prof. Ing. Ph.D. (19.11.2012)
The course covers the fundamentals of unit operations involving particulate solids (characterisation, agglomeration, comminution, dissolution, powder flow, fluid-solid separation), as well as rate-based separation processes, namely adsorption and crystallization. The concept of population balances is introduced.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Štěpánek František prof. Ing. Ph.D. (01.10.2013)

After completing the course, the student will be able to:

  • Perform basic design and analytical calculations related to the covered unit operations
  • Make rational selection of process alternatives and quantify the influence of material properties and process parameters on the process performance
  • Formulate and apply population balances to describe chemical engineering phenomena with a distribution of properties
