Welcome to "Separation Process - 2" module:

 

This module aims at imparting the knowledge on the fundamentals of separation process like steam distillation, differential distillation, azeotropic distillation and adsorption. It is the ultimate objective of the module that students at the end of the course module should have concepts on separation process that are adopted and practiced in every process plants and industries. The course will cover the essential science and understanding of two component separation using distillation. Topics covered include equipment used, design, and affect of operating conditions on operational cost
