Separation engineering is a comprehensive and multi-level process engineering science, using the physical chemistry, chemical principle, chemical thermodynamics, transfer process and other courses related to phase equilibrium thermodynamics, kinetics, molecular and microcosmic mechanism of copolymerization state. It is one of the few courses with a distinct engineering character that helps students with the development of engineering concepts.
The separation process takes the actual chemical production as the main research object, and trains students to master the internal connection and common law between various unit operations. We can use heat transfer, mass transfer and momentum transfer theory to study the chemical system in practical production of separation and purification technology. In the 21st century which advocates energy saving and emission reduction, efficient utilization of resources and green process industry, chemical separation technology continues to play an important role in many fields such as petrochemical industry, resources and environment, energy, materials, biomedicine and so on.
