Prerequisite: CLB 10904 Chemical Process Principles
Learning Outcomes:

At the end of this course the students should be able to:

1. Apply of principles of diffusion and mass transfer of different type of unit operation such as
distillation, gas absorption and extraction process (C5).
2. Discuss the results of laboratory works related to mass transfer operation (P2, CTPS3).
3. Analyses of mass transfer problems by applying the fundamental principles of diffusion and unit
operation process (P3, CTPS3).

Synopsis

This course introduces different types of unit operations involved in the chemical and other
physical processing industries such as distillation, absorption, liquid-liquid extraction and solid-
liquid extraction (leaching). It also deals with design of separation operations using mass
transfer principles.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. If a student is absent for any particular lecture or tutorial class, the initiative should
come from the student himself/herself to ask the lecturer IMMEDIATELY what are
the things that have been missed (the lecturer wont bother to ask the reason why you
are absent or ask you when would you like to have your remake quiz/test/assignment, so
do not blame the lecturer if you miss and get 0 for any assignment/quiz/test, etc.)

2. If you are absent because you are on MEDICAL LEAVE, please make sure you give one
photocopy of your MC the next day or within 3 days so that it can be recorded in the
attendance. If you are absent for no particular reason (i.e. you could not wake up from
sleep, you got lost in the academic building) no exception is given at all; your attendance
will be recorded as 0.
