BTE4481 (Separation Processes II)

General OBJECTIVES
To provide students sound background in the
fundamentals of separation and purification operations
for the recovery of products from biological processes.

Introducing separation strategies, unit operations, and economic factors

used to design processes for isolating, separating and purifying materials
like whole cell cells, enzymes, food additives, or pharmaceuticals covering
such topics as chromatography, centrifugation, cell disruption, extraction,
electrophoresis, crystallization and process design.

BTE4481 (Separation Processes II)

Specific Objectives:
1. Introduce separation processes for bioactive
products.
2. Develop understanding of the techniques through
different bioseparation processes.
3. Apply the techniques for laboratory evaluation and
industrial applications.

BTE4481 (Separation Processes II)

LEARNING OUTCOMES (LO):

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

Explain and categorise bioproducts based on their properties.

Identify different types of cell lysis according to the product.
Describe and scale up solid-liquid separation processes.
Differentiate the various types of chromatography and apply
for biotechnology applications
Identify principles of crystallization and precipitation.
Perform process economic analysis for bioseparation design.
Understand a process flowsheet relevant to bioseparation.

Dress code, Attendance, Quiz, Test and Exam Policies:

IIUM dress code should be observed during class, quizzes & exams
Regular attendance is required for all class meetings.
A minimum of 80% class attendance must be fulfilled.
Punctuality to class is also expected.
Unless otherwise specified, quizzes will normally be given during
normal class meetings. No make-up quizzes except for documented
medical reasons (you must have a note from the doctor).
No make-up test/exam will be given except for documented medical
reasons.
The onus is for the absent student to notify the instructor within 48
hours for any missed quiz/test

 The Test & Exam are based on the textbook, class notes, handouts and assignments.
Those who do the homework honestly, will earn the better grades.
I encourage group homework and study sections. But each person in a group must
pull their own weight, copied answers will be considered dishonest.
Copying the homework and not fully participating, cheats yourself.
