1.1 Unit operations with material transfer

Chemical engineering is divided into two main parts:

• calculation of the chemical reactors used to synthesize market products (or intermediates);

• calculation of unit operations for separations :

  • from raw materials (ores, agricultural products),

  • from flows from chemical reactors (separation of reaction products and reagents, for example).

In turn, unit operations can be divided into two broad classes:

• operations without material transfer, which are :

• • ...
