| Prerequisites: | No prerequisite |
| Target skills and knowledge: | The general objective of the course is to provide students with a
scientific and engineering understanding of industrially relevant membrane separation processes. At the end of the course, the student should be able to: 1. Identify/select a membrane separation scheme for a given separation 2. Design a membrane separation process in terms of modules and layout design by quantitatively use of design equations and membrane transport properties 3. Select the required membrane material for a given application and understand how key operating parameters will affect the separation. 4. Understand the role of the membrane material in achieving a given separation and how different polymeric membranes are fabricated. 5. Describe the standards used to fully quantify the properties/performance of a membrane material for a specific separation process. 6. Evaluation of the economics of the membrane separation processes with respect conventional separation processes |
| Examination methods: | Final written examination. The final examination, which involves a numeric problem and some open ended questions, has the purpose to evaluate the effective learning outcomes:
a. the ability to identify/select a membrane separation scheme for a given application; b. the ability to select the membrane materials, understand the role of the membrane material in achieving a given separation and how key operating parameters will affect the separation. c. the understanding of transport theories for selected membrane separation processes and how they can be adapted to them. d. the ability to quantitatively use design equations and membrane transport properties for the design and scale-up of a membrane separation scheme e. the ability to evaluate the economics of the membrane separation processes. |
| Assessment criteria: | Assessment of the capability to identify and design the proper
membrane separation process for a given gas or liquid separation application. |
| Course unit contents: | The course will review and analyze:
1. FUNDAMENTALS AND PRINCIPLES OF MEMBRANE SEPARATION PROCESSES: Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration, Reverse Osmosis, Pervaporation, Gas Separations, Electrodialysis, etc. 2. MEMBRANE MODULES 3. ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF MEMBRANE MODULES and PROCESSES SYSTEMS: Design, Modelling and Optimization of membrane reactors, catalytic membrane reactors, contactors, etc. 4. MEMBRANE PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION: Membrane materials, Methods of preparation, Microscopic structure of membranes and state of the permeant 5. MEMBRANE PROCESSES APPLICATIONs: Water treatment; Chemical Industry; Biomedical applications; Pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry 6. ECONOMICS OF SEPARATION MEMBRANE PROCESSES |
