Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4016475ENR voor alle studenten in het 1e semester met een verdiepend master niveau.
This course deals with a selected number of separation processes found in chemical and related industries. The theory part of the course covers topics as: Flash distillation, binary and multicomponent multi stage distillation (rigourous, short cut and graphical methods), calculation of vapour - liquid and liquid - liquid equilibria, hydrodynamic calculation of stage columns, absorption, calculation of packed bed towers, extraction and leaching, membrane processes.
The practical (WPO) part of the course covers exercise sessions and lab sessions.
This course is to be seen in a global context with ‘Mechanical and thermal unit operations’ to give an overview of all unit operations.
Complementary study material:Course notes
Handbooks are available for inspection
The students should acquire a deep knowledge of unit operations as distillation, absorption, extraction, membrane processes. Students should be able to apply basic knowledge of science and engineering science (thermodynamics, kinetics, transport phenomena, ..) in practical unit operations, especially on column processes, both stage columns as continuous columns. The accent is on the ability to apply knowledge and understanding.
This course is part of the common trunk of the Master of Applied Sciences and Engineering: Chemistry and Materials. The following learning goals and competences are aimed for:
Students are able to explain the operating principles and design basics of covered unit operations
Students can apply mathematical methods and graphical techniques to design covered unit operations
This course contributes to reaching the following learning objectives:
The Master of Sciences in Chemical and Materials Engineering has in-depth knowledge and understanding of
MA_2 integrated structural design methods in the framework of a global design strategy
MA_3 the advanced methods and theories to schematize and model complex problems or processes
The Master of Sciences in Chemical and Materials Engineering can
MA_4 reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity)
MA_8 collaborate in a (multidisciplinary) team
The Master of Sciences in Chemical and Materials Engineering has
MA_15 the flexibility and adaptability to work in an international and/or intercultural context
De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Mondeling bepaalt 75% van het eindcijfer
WPO Praktijkopdracht bepaalt 25% van het eindcijfer
Binnen de categorie Examen Mondeling dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
Binnen de categorie WPO Praktijkopdracht dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
Oral exam with written preparation (75%)
Open book preparation
WPO: comprising exercises and lab sessions (25%)
Lab sessions are graded on cooperation (individual mark) and written reports (group mark).
Presence on lab sessions is compulsory. Illegitimate absence leads to 0/20 for the session
Partial marks for the lab sessions and excercises, if the student obtains at least half of the score (for this part), are transferred to the second session, and to the next academic year. Students may not relinquish partial marks.
