Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to apprise the students with the theoretical basics of membrane separations. Membrane types will be described together with their basic characteristics. The transport and separation properties will be explained and the basic parameters will be calculated via both PC software (Excel) and a calculator for the representative membranes. Membranes processes will be discussed from the both point of views: laboratory experiments and industrial scale.
