Course description
History of Chemical Engineering related solid physical separation process. Fundamentals of Powder/Particle technology, Solid-liquid and Solid-gas separation process
Expected Learning
Course schedule
1. Background and importance of “Separation process”
1.1. History of separation process in industry
(1) Haber-Bosch process (Method of directly synthesizing ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen)
(2) Gasoline production process
1.2. Four important “Pollution-related illnesses” in Japan and the contribution of separation process on the solution of this subjects
(1) Minamata disease : mercury
(2) Niigata Minamata disease : mercury
Mercury is highly volatile element, still difficult subjects to separate from flue gas. New production process for NaOH without mercury were developed.
(3) Itai-itai disease : Cadmium emission, Cd ion in sewer water and dust emission
(4) Asthma in Yokkaichi : Sulfite gas, Nitrogen oxide and dust, fine particles
? Gas adsorption, dust collection, filtration (Solid gas, solid liquid separation)
? PM2.5 and fine particles emission.

Heavy metal removal, separation from polluted water
/ ion ?
1) Liquid-liquid extraction, emulsion dispersion (oil in water, water/oil/water)
2) Adsorption, Zeolite and other adsorbed material (ferrocyanide)
Example, Fukusima radioactive material Cesium
Environmental standard = 5000 becquerel : the number of atoms / second

/colloid

1.3. New concepts for chemical production process engineering,
/ Closed systems
Separation and recycling of unreacted raw feedstock
/ Zero emission

2. Fundamentals of particle motion in fluid (Gas and liquid) for solid-gas, and solid-liquid separation by using mechanical and physical process
2.1. Inertial motion, gravity sedimentation behavior
2.2. Stokes equation and terminal velocity

3. Mechanical separation technology I
3.1. Sedimentation
3.2. Cyclone
3.3. Electric separator
3.4. Particle behavior control, aggregation and sedimentation etc.

4. Mechanical separation technology II
