Course content
Introduction: research and science activities on the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Pardubice, labour protection in the laboratory. Electro-membrane processes. Electro-dialysis. Concentration of strong electrolytes using electro-dialysis. Pressure-driven membrane processes. Cross-flow microfiltration on ceramic membranes. Concentration experiment with an inorganic dispersion. Characterization of disperse systems (particle size, zeta-potential). Non-Newtonian fluids. Determination of material functions of pure viscose and visco-elastic liquids. A dynamic rheometer RS 150.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with text (with textbook, with book), Methods of individual activities, Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to make students acquainted with some pressure-driven, diffusion and electo-diffusion memrane processes. Beside, the students are acquainted with the experimental methods to evaluate non-Newtonian fluids.
After this course, the student is able to orient in the laboratory practice focused on the selected membrane processes. He is qualified to make decision on the selection of suitable methods to treat the expeimental data.
Prerequisites
Chemical engineering I, Chemical engineering II

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

There is an oral examination. The primary form is a debate about selected themes, theoretical knowledge being assessed. Moreover, the results of the individual laboratory tasks are also included into the total classification.
