Separation Processes
A comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of separation processes of interest to the chemical industry is
covered. The fundamental principles of mass transfer are introduced and extended to include principles of interfacial
mass transfer and simultaneous heat and mass transfer. General mass and energy balances are derived for
equilibrium staged processes. The applications of these principles are made to the unit operations of distillation
(binary and multi-component), liquid-liquid extraction, gas-liquid absorption and stripping, adsorption and ionexchange, and membrane separation processes.

ACADEMIC OVERVIEW
Program Education Objectives
The Chemical Engineering discipline expects to produce graduates, who
1. have successful careers in Chemical Engineering discipline
2. engage in multicultural and globalized engineering teams
3. demonstrate career progression towards senior management and leadership positions
Program Outcomes
The Chemical Engineering has developed a set of Program Outcomes (POs) for all of its
graduates based on the Malaysian Engineering Accreditation Councils manual.
Program Outcomes
Activities used in this unit to develop

program outcomes
PO1 Engineering knowledge:

Apply knowledge of science and engineering
fundamentals, and achieve specialization in
Chemical Engineering discipline;
Theoretical lecture material prescribed

texts and recommended reading. Students
will apply the fundamental principles in
chemical engineering which include mass
and energy balances as well as mass
transfer in designing separation
processes, such as distillation, liquid-liquid
extraction, gas-liquid absorption and
stripping, and gas adsorption.
PO2 Problem solving and analysis:

Identify, formulate, analyse and solve complex
engineering problems, and make appropriate
conclusions;

distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, gasliquid absorption and stripping, adsorption
and ionexchange. Students will analyse
the design problems associated with the
separation processes (namely distillation,
liquid-liquid extraction, gas-liquid,
absorption and stripping, adsorption and
ion-exchange) and propose the
engineering solutions. For example,
students will be asked to design distillation
process for an azeotrope-forming binary
mixture.
Completion of practice questions,
laboratory work, and laboratory reports
Students will develop skills in solving
engineering problems related to design
and operation of separation processes.
The students are also required to develop
experimental skills in operating and
analysing the performance of a distillation
unit.
PO3 Design/Development of solutions:

Design solutions for complex engineering
problems;

Blooms Taxonomy:
Three domains of educational activities have been identified under the general taxonomy
known as Blooms.
o Cognitive: mental skills (Head)
o Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Heart)
o Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Hand)
The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. This
includes the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that
serve in the development of intellectual abilities and skills.
The affective domain includes the attitudes with which someone deals with things
emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms and motivations.
The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motorskill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed,
precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution.
Key for the table above: Psychomotor: P1 (Low), P2 (Medium), P3 (High), Affective: A1
(Low), A2 (Medium), A3 (High), Cognitive: C1 (Low), C2 (Medium), C3 (High)

Your Feedback to Us
One of the formal ways students have to provide feedback on teaching and their learning
experience is through the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The
feedback is anonymous and provides the Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are
satisfied with and areas for improvement.
Previous Student Evaluations of this Unit
In response to the last SETU of this unit, the following changes have been made:
The number of assignments has been reduced from five to three.
