Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to create a complex conception on special applications of selected membrane separation processes, their cnnection with environmental protection and on the methods characterizing fluid properties of non-Newtonian fluids.
After this course, the student is able to treat basic data obtained under laboratory and semi-pilot conditions with respect to the selected membrane processes. He is qualified to select an acceptable computational method.
