Unit of study_
CHNG3805: Particle Processing
This unit of study teaches principles of particle technology and solid separation process required for chemical and biomolecular engineering. It provides students with the tools and knowhow to tackle unit operation tasks related to chemical engineering. It also includes project based study components including a research project on fluidisation of solid particles, a dyer design project and a lab session on chromatograph. The integrated course structure helps students to develop a physical understanding of particle technology and solid separation process and gain the ability to solve problems of engineering significance.
