Learning outcomes
To familiarize students with physical principles, mathematical models and solved problems in the area of diffusion and electro-diffusion membrane processes.
Students are able to accurately identify the essence of individual operations, analyze and synthesize whole process systems in engineering terms, and are familiar with methods that enable effective transfer and interpretation of laboratory test results into industrial practice.
Prerequisites
Completed master's degree in chemistry and chemical-technology study programs.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Oral exam. The basic form of the exam is a discussion of the selected circuits.
