Summary

The course deepens the theoretical knowledge in the field of mechanical processes of liquid-solid phase separation. It is devoted to the theoretical description of the movement of material particles in the material environment and the application of theoretical knowledge in the design and modeling of separation technologies (thickening, filtration, centrifugation).
