2. Membrane materials and transport mechanisms (permeability and selectivity concepts)
3. Liquid separation processes : Microfiltration & ultrafiltration
Concentration polarization
Process design (batch and continuous processes)
Fouling
Industrial applications
4. Liquid separation processes : Reverse osmosis
Osmotic pressure and effective driving force
Process design
Fouling

5. Membrane gas separations
Membrane performances & experimental techniques
Process design : analytical approach
Process design : simulation (MEMSIC software)
Industrial applications
6. Miscellaneous operations (pervaporation, dialysis, transmembrane distillation)
