| Summary |
|---|
| The aim of the course is to provide students an overview of the principles of methods used in the processing of raw materials. Lectures include methods of separation of heterogeneous mixtures, physical and chemical methods of material enrichment and other operations in terms of physico-chemical principles. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The aim of the course is to broaden students' knowledge of chemical processes that take place in the processing and treatment of raw materials. Students will acquire the ability to understand the processes that take place in technological processes and will be able to evaluate the appropriate technological process based on the knowledge of chemical processes. |
