Separation Science and Technology
The WCCE8 Symposium on Separation Science and Technology in Montreal 2009 offers a unique opportunity to focus on a comprehensive participation and learning experience over the full range and diversity of methods from thermodynamics applied to separation processes in chemical industry, biotechnology, pharmacy and climate change research.

Scope
The session will be split in :
- Separation science = thermodynamical treatment
- Separation technology
The thermodynamics of mixtures are the basis for all separation methods. Especially the treatment of complex systems and the computer simulation play an important role.
The unit operations are treated as singular processes in research and practical application, as a combination of several (hybrid processes), applied with tailor-made compounds and to special application as bio fuels.
This symposium will present recent advances in the development or improvement, current issues and limitations, and covers original applications in the field of Separation Science & Technology.
The proposed topics are :
Compound oriented separation (tailoring compounds to separation)
- Ionic liquids
- Polymers
Process oriented separation
- Industrial application of separation (distillation, extraction, absorption, membranes, chromatography)
- Distillation (process, apparatus, practical experience)
- Extraction (solid, fluid, supercritical fluid, biomaterials, phyto-extraction)
- Absorption (process, apparatus)
- Membranes (organic, inorganic, dense, porous)
- Crystallization (organic, inorganic, proteins)
- Technical chromatography
- Hybrid processes
- Microsystems
- Process intensification
- Process synthesis
- Non-invasive determination of process parameters in apparatus
Application-oriented separation
- Separation of bio-compounds and pharmaceuticals
- Separation in climate change application
- Oil from oil sand
- Separation in bio-fuel production
- Fuel cells
- Hydrogen
Basics of thermodynamics
- Molecular simulation
- Equations-of-state
- Transport properties
- Prediction of thermophysical data
- Data banks and knowledge basis
Publication
This symposium will be included in the WCCE8 proceedings. Selected papers will be published in referred journals to be determined later.
