Key words
Chemical unit operations
Objectives
The student learns to describe, calculate, design and optimize (the discussed) unit operations and chemical reactors of the chemical industry.
The student has to be able to specify the physical-chemical principles of these unit operations.
Topics
This course discusses several unit operations (distillation, absorption, liquid/liquid extraction, solid/liquid extraction, drying/humidifying, adsorption, ion exchange, crystallization) and chemical reactors. The industrial apparatuses for these operations are discussed as well.
Prerequisites
Competences acquired in introduction courses, physical chemistry I & II and chemical engineering I.
Final Objectives
Specific competence 1:
To be able to design industrial production processes (SC4)
amongst other:
- to be able to solve complex problems effectively (AC3)
- to be able to implement and to develop research methods and research techniques in an effective way (AWC1)
- to be able to implement scientific-disciplinary insights on complex engineering technical problems (AIC1)
- to be able to get acquainted with, to assimilate, to implement and to use relevant new technologies and/or theories (AIC2)
Specific competence 2:
To be able to acquire scientific knowledge in engineering techniques, and apply knowledge to solve cases with given methods (SC5),
amongst other:
- to be able to enlarge knowledge and insights in a creative and in an original way (AWC3)
General competence 1:
To be able to think, to judge and to act permanently in a critical, creative and scientific way (AC1)
General competence 2:
To be able to communicate on their own research and on problem solutions to laymen as well as to specialists (AC4)

Study guidance
On appointment
Teaching Methods
Colleges, theoretical and laboratory exercises, visit to chemical production plant.
Assessment
Theory (Oral examination with written preparation): 57%
Theoretical (Tests) and laboratory (Permanent evaluation + Test): 43%
A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item.
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetences is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus.
