The purpose of this unit is to illustrate, in practical terms, the theoretical lessons relative to different unit operations (Reverse osmossis, adsorption, catalytic reacteur, temperature control, level control)* Liquid-solid adsorption (fixed bed, activated carbon, blue of methylene) * Reverse osmosis (membrane, water treatment) * Heterogeneous (solid-liquid) reactor (fixed bed reactor, dissociation of sucrose, acid catalysts, enzyme catalysts) * Level and flowrate control (P, PI and PID controller) * Temperature control (P, PI and PID controller).

1) understand the operating principle and the practical aspects related to semi-industrial operations units (heterogeneous catalytic reactor, adsorption, reverse osmosis& control) 2) know the relevant parameters concerning the proper functioning of the experimental units and their effects on the unit's performance 3) apply the good practices of process conduction and production.
