Key words
Biochemical and chemical technology
Objectives
The main objective is for the students to acquire the skills to succesfully analyse and solve quantitative problems regarding chemical en biochemical production processes.
In the first part, the student gets acquinted with analyzing mass streams of production processes en the application of mass balances. In the second part, energy balances are introduced through looking at processes that use steam.
Topics
Basics: quantities, units, fractions, chemical reaction nomenclature (stoichiometrics, limiting reactant, reactant in excess, selectivity, yield, degree of conversion).
Mass balances (total and partial):with mixing point, with mixing point and chemical reaction, with mixing and distribution point, regarding topics such as filtration, kristillazation, microbiological hydrolysis, destillation, dewatering.
Energy balances: heating (heat exchanger, steam injection), evaporation, drying through steam technology.
Prerequisites
Final objectives of “Aanvullingen Chemie” (1st year Bachelor in Industrial Sciences in Chemistry)
