Finally! After 2 months working at home, the course is now ready!
This course is an introduction to all those separation processes and techniques that you typically cover in your(s) Mass Transfer Operations Course(s).
You can read this full blog post or go directly to the Course Page… In the meantime, check the trailer:
About the Course:
In this course we will cover the most basic processes involved in Mass Transfer Operations. This is an overview of what type of processes, methods and units are used in the industry. This is mostly an introductory course which will allow you to learn, understand and know the approach towards separation processes involving mass transfer phenomena.
It is an excellent course before any Mass Transfer Process or Unit Operation Course such as Distillations, Extractions, Leaching, Membranes, Absorption, etc…
What is the Course Content?
This course is extremely recommended if you will continue with the following:
Flash Distillation, Simple Distillation, Batch Distillation
Gas Absorption, Desorption & Stripping
Binary Distillation, Fractional Distillation
Scrubbers, Gas Treating
Sprayers / Spray Towers
Bubble Columns / Sparged Vessels
Agitation Vessels
Packed Towers, Tray Towers
Membranes
Liquid Extraction
Dryers / Humidifiers
Adsorbers
Evaporators/Sublimators
Crystallizers
Centrifugations
And many other Separation Technology!
Why Mass Transfer Operations Intro Course?
I’ve always thought that traditional courses go directly to distillation or gas absorption, may be some times to flash distillation, but I don’t recall having a “deep” introduction to mass transfer operations or separation process technologies.
These units were easy to understand at first, but then they complicated as more topics were added to the unit operations.
Hence, I prepared this course for the average student or engineer with no previous background on Mass Transfer and/or Separation Technologies knowledge.
I prepared this blog post for you guys in case you want to check out more separation processes and how they are categorized in the course!
What is the Approach to Learning?
Theory
As you know, I really love having lots of problems & exercises involved in a course, I think they are great to maximize knowledge and understanding. This course is different, this is just an introduction, a formal “hi, how are you?” course to Mass Transfer Operations. The main goal is to get to know each other 🙂
Therefore, the course is mostly theory!
In this sample, you can watch howtheoretical concepts are studied.
Remember that this is just a sample, check out my teaching style, what do we see, the type of lecture (screencast) and so on… I hope you enjoy 🙂

Interactive Animations
We are in 2020, screencasts and videos should not be enough! That’s why I added some interactive Animations. These are mostly models or mathematical demonstrarions from CDF Wolfram. Check out more on this in a blog post I prepared for you guys!
Most animations are explained, but the overall idea is for YOU to “play” with the model. You need to understand it by yourself, remember when we used to be kids and we were curious on things. We wanted to understand what makes them tick, what happens if, and so on… This is the time for that!
In this Lecture, we cover an Interactive Animation.
The main idea is to understand how the concentration is affected (the profile) by the length of the membrane and interphase conditions.

More to come!
There is much more to come for this course and related Mass Transfer Courses! For Now, I think is better to check out the course if you really liked the idea of an Introductory Course!
I hope you got value from this post! Ensure to share with your friends and colleagues if you think they might find it useful!
