Course Description

Introduction:

Binary Distillation is one of the most important Mass Transfer Operations used extensively in the Chemical industry.

Understanding the concept behind Gas-Gas, Liquid-Liquid and the Gas-Liquid mass transfer interaction will allow you to understand and model Distillation Columns, Flashes, Batch Distillator, Tray Columns and Packed column, etc...

We will cover:

  • REVIEW: Of Mass Transfer Basics (Equilibrium VLE Diagrams, Volatility, Raoult's Law, Azeotropes, etc..)
  • Distillation Theory
  • Application of Distillation in the Industry
  • Counter-Current Operation
  • Several equipment to Carry Gas-Liquid Operations
  • Bubble, Spray, Packed and Tray Column equipment
  • Flash Distillation & Flash Drums Design
  • Design & Operation of Tray Columns
  • Number of Ideal Stages: McCabe Thiele Method & Ponchon Savarit Method
  • Recycle
  • Condenser types: partial, total
  • Pressure drop due to trays
  • Design & Operation of Packed Columns
  • Pressure drop due to trays
  • Efficiency of Stages & Murphree's Efficency
  • Batch Distillation, the Raleigh Equation
  • Software Simulation for Absorption/Stripping Operations (ASPEN PLUS/HYSYS)

Solved-Problem Approach:

All theory is backed with exercises, solved problems, and proposed problems for homework/individual study.

At the end of the Course:

You will be able to understand mass transfer mechanism and processes behind Binary Distillation in Flash, Continuous & Batch Processes. You will be able to continue with a Multi-Component Distillation, Reactive Distillation and Azeotropic Distillation as well as more Mass Transfer Unit Operation Courses and/or Separation Processes Course.
