(1) Separation processes are essential in chemical engineering. A typical chemical plant is a chemical reactor surrounded by separators where raw materials are pre purified using relevant tools and techniques and then fed to the chemical reactor; unreacted feed is separated from the reaction products and recycled to the reactor. Sometimes products and by products must be further separated and purified before they can be sold.
