3. Introduction
Three fundamental transfer processes:
i)Momentum transfer (∆P)
ii)Heat transfer (∆T)
iii)Mass transfer (∆C)

4. Definition of Mass Transfer
The term mass transfer is used to denote the transference of a component in a
mixture from a region where its concentration is high to a region where the
concentration is lower.
Mass transfer process can take place in a gas (vapor) or in a liquid,
It can result from the random velocities of the molecules (molecular diffusion) or
from the circulating or eddy currents present in a turbulent fluid (eddy diffusion).

5. Examples of Mass Transfer
Consider a tank that is divided into two equal parts by a
partition.
Initially, the left half of the tank contains nitrogen N
2gas while
the right half contains O
2at the same temperature and pressure.
When the partition is removed the N
2molecules will start
diffusing into the air while the O
2molecules diffuse into the N
2.
If we wait long enough, we will have a homogeneous mixture
of N
2and O
2in the tank.

Examples of Separation Processes

10. Classification of Separation Processes
Evaporation:evaporation of a volatile solvent from a nonvolatile solute, e.g. water
from nonvolatile solute (salt).
Drying:removal of volatile liquids, e.g. water from solid materials.
Distillation: components of a liquid mixture are separated by boiling due to
differences in vapor pressure.
Absorption:removal of a component from a gas stream by treatment with a liquid.
Membrane separation:separation of a solute from a fluid by diffusion of the
solute from a liquid or gas through a semi-permeable membrane barrier to the other
fluid.
Liquid-liquid extraction: removal of a solute from a liquid solution by contacting
with another liquid solvent that is relatively immiscible with the solution.

11. Separation processes
Adsorption:removal of a component (adsorbate) from a gas or liquid stream by
adsorption on a solid material (adsorbent).
Ion exchange:removal of certain ions in a solution from a liquid by an ion-
exchange solid.
Liquid-solid leaching:removal of a solute from a solid (containing the solute)
by treating with a liquid that dissolves out the solute from the solid.
Crystallization:removal of a solute, such as a salt from a solution, by
precipitation the solute from the solution.
Mechanical-physical separation: separation of solids, liquids, or gases by
mechanical means. E.g. filtration, centrifugation, settling, and size reduction.
