• Semester: 1
• Prerequisite: IBK314/3 Practical in Downstream Processing (sequential)
  

Synopsis

This course will enhance the techniques of downstream processing via laboratory practical. This course focuses on downstream processing, which are removal of insolubles, isolation of products and purification of products. In the aspects of insoluble removal, focus will be given to design of filtration, design of centrifugation and coagulation processes. In the aspect of product isolation, focus will be given to the design of solvent extractions, precipitation and adsorption. Purification will cover topics on design of separation process and application of chromatography techniques.
