Outline and Purpose of the Course To understand various separation operations used in industrial chemical processes, multiphase transport phenomena, transport properties, and methods to design separation operations will be lectured. Especially, drying, adsorption, membrane separation and crystallization will be taken as practical examples.
Course Goals The present course aims at achieving the following three goals by taking some types of solid-phase separation operations for example: (1) understanding mass balance, heat balance, and simultaneous transport phenomena of mass and heat, (2) cultivating the ability to design and develop separation units and materials used for multi-phase separations, and (3) developing knowledge on recent trends of separation techniques.
Schedule and Contents Adsorption Operations (4times): Adsorption equilibrium as dynamic equilibrium, adsorption isotherm, diffusion in pores and at surface, adsorption rate, and so forth will be explained. In addition, how to design adsorption operation and how to calculate breakthrough curve in fixed bed type adsorbing column will be lectured.

Humidification Operations (1time): Humidification operation will be lectured as example of simultaneous transport of heat and mass at gas-liquid interface. The students will understand the idea of wet-bulb temperature and how to use humidity chart.

Drying Operations (4times): The mechanisms and kinetics of drying and expertise to select and design the drying unit type will be lectured, relating operation conditions with properties of the dried products.

Membrane Separation Operations (2times): With the main focus on the gas separation, permeability equations and process designs of membrane separation processes will be lectured.

Crystallization Operations (3times): The mechanism of the crystallization and kinetic analysis of the crystal growth will be lectured, followed by the explanation on the population balance required for the design of apparatuses. Finally, students' understanding on the course will be tested.

Feedback class (1time): A supplementary lecture or exercise class will be conducted as an additional class to give advanced knowledge or to confirm the attainment level of the course goals.
Evaluation Methods and Policy Evaluation will be made based on midterm exam, routine exam at the end of semester, and reports often given in lectures.
Course Requirements Introduction to Industrial Chemistry (Material and energy balances),
Fundamentals of Chemical Process Engineering,
Fluid-Phase Separation Engineering
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Students should check the contents of lecture beforehand and deepen their understanding by using text book and reference book.
