Students would be introduced to the role of mechanical separations in chemical processing. Similarly, the fundamentals of the following Mechanical Separations processes would be discussed; Filtration, Sedimentation, Clarification, Flotation, Centrifugal Separations, Jigging, Tabling, Magnetic and Electrostatic Separations, Sonic Agglomeration. Different type of Filters, Cyclones, Centrifuges, Flotation cells, Electrostatic Precipitators, Magnetic Separators and settling tanks with emphasis on the followings; Mechanical Construction, Operation and the working principle, design and the controlling parameters, efficiency, economic evaluation, applications and the selection criteria.
