Covid-19 and risk assessment statements at laboratory exercises

  • Work in groups of max 3.
  • Keep distance and distribute the tasks between each other.
  • Use a visor if you have one otherwise ask the teaching assistants in advance to receive one.
  • During waiting times, move to the apparthallen outside of the lab. 
  • Everyone with the slightest symptoms will stay at home.
  • Thorough hygiene awareness. Use gloves and avoid touching surfaces. Wash your hands before and after the lab.

Course purpose

The aim of this advanced course is to deepen and extend the knowledge of a group of operations where transport phenomena are the basis for design. Some operations of importance for environmental work will be treated. The emerging field of process analytical technology (PAT) is introduced.  

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

  • understand basic principles of mixing, crystallisation, process analytical technology, drying and absorption
  • ability to select appropriate techniques for the processes above
  • formulate and solve problems related to the processes above
