Lectures

Goal

Analysis of the mass transfer operations and apparatuses and assessment of their role in modern industry. Understanding the most commonly used types of mass transfer apparatuses - their design and calculation procedures.

Outcome

The mastery of calculation procedures needed to analyze the mass transfer operations - the material balance, determination of the operational line and driving force. The mastery of calculation procedures for sizing of the most commonly used mass transfer apparatuses.

Theoretical teaching

Classification of mass transfer operations and basics principles of mass-transfer operations General calculation procedure for mass transfer operations. Operation and equilibrium line, mass transfer driving force, number of transfer units, theoretical stage. Mass transfer operations: distillation (continuous evaporation, single stage distillation, continuous condensation, distillation with deflegmation, differential distillation, fractional distillation, differential condensation), rectification, absorption, extraction, leaching, adsorption, drying. Mass transfer apparatuses for gas-liquid systems, liquid-liquid and solid phase - fluid. Trayed and packed columns, drying chambers, etc. Membrane mass transfer operations and and apparatuses. Development trends in the field of mass transfer operations and apparatuses.

Practical teaching

Examples of mass transfer operations. Mass and heat balancing. Determination of the operating line, driving force, the number of transfer units, the number of theoretical stages. Examples of sizing of most commonly used mass transfer apparatuses: distillation column (with packing and with trays), extraction columns (with packing and with trays), adsorber (with a fixed layer of adsorbent), dryers (continuous and periodical). Design procedures for membrane mass transfer operations and and apparatuses.
