Course content
Introduction: labour protection in the laboratory. Diffusion membrane processes. Diffusion dialysis. Characterization of a membrane/solution system on the basis of the component concentration-time dependences experimentally obtained. Pressure-driven membrane processes. Determination of process characteristics of microfiltration. Intensification of microfiltration using back-flushing. Study of the effect of electro-chemical properties of dispersions upon microfiltration. Non-Newtonian fluids. Determination of the basic process characteristics of the flow of non-Newtonian fluids through the particle beds (pressure drop, expansion of fluidized bed).

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 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.
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.
