Mass transfer and separation processes Reactants pre - treatment Reactor Products treatment Upgrading and mixing of (some) reactants and additives before the reactor Contacting of reactants in reactor Separation of valuable products, by-products and unused reactant (reflux) This course: analyses and designs are based on mass balances and (deviations from) thermodynamic equilibrium 13 Separation process examples Drying of a solid, using heat or dry gas Adsorption of gas or liquid, using a solid Distillation, using heat to create a vapour phase Gas absorption, using a liquid absorbent Stripping, using a gaseous absorbent Extraction of liquid or solid, using a solvent that creates immiscible phases Crystallisation, using cooling to create a solid phase Separation processes to be considered in this course are mainly those that involve addition or creation of a new phase. This excludes mechanical separation methods that use a barrier (filters), and those that use an external field or gradient (gravity, electromagnetic). see for example Advanced Course 424514 14
Terminology Typically a V phase is added or created in order to separate (something from) the L phase. V phase is usually the more volatile of L and V phases source: MSH93 15 Sources #1 MSH93 W.L.
