Teaching methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
1. Crystallization :In 4 lectures of 2 hours by the course teachers.
2. Other fluid-solid separation techniques :
In 11 lectures of 2 hours by the course teachers. Lectures and flipped classrooms will be organised to address the application of techniques and exercises.
3. Two laboratory sessions are planned.
Most of the lecture will be in online mode (TEAMS)
The exercices and laboratory will be presential, if possible.
Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
Examen écrit (50%)/ normally on campus -- possible that the examen switches to an online mode depending on sanitary conditions.Flipped classroom + laboratoires (50%)
Other information
It is highly recommended to have attended Thermodynamics - Phase equilibrium course [LMAPR 1310] or similar
