Objectives
On completion of this module, students will have a better understanding of the importance of cutting edge research and development in some of the developing fields of chemical engineering. Examples will be used in this module from current departmental research strengths in the areas of:- Particle engineering and crystallisation science
- Non-intrusive measurement techniques
Learning outcomes
- Particle formation processes, crystallisation science, spray drying and granulation fundamentals, role of particles in industrial processes, engineering product properties.
- Non-intrusive measurement techniques, process applications for non-intrusive measurements.
Skills outcomes
- Ability to understand and utilise higher-level chemical engineering knowledge for problem solving.
- Understanding how to translate fundamental knowledge into 'real world' products and processes.
- Written communication.
- Critical reasoning.
- Time management.
- Independent rational thinking.
Syllabus
The module will cover two aspects of current chemical engineering technology developments:
Crystallisation Science and Particle Engineering:
- Fundamentals of crystallisation and crystal characterisation.
- Application of spectroscopic methods to the monitoring of crystallisation processes including measurement of metastable zone width, super-saturation, particle size, particle shape and polymorphic form and the use of PAT for the control of crystallisation processes.
- Fundamentals of spray drying and granulation; an introduction to methods for predicting process and product performance.
- Case studies in particle science and engineering.
- Role of PAT in improving the quality of particulate products via manufacturing to desired specifications and the importance of quality by design and design space approaches for the production of high value-added products.
Non-Intrusive Measurement Techniques:
- Principles of non-intrusive measurement techniques
- Spatial, temporal and frequency domain analyses
- Process applications of non-intrusive measurement techniques.
