Separation Engineering is the application of science and engineering principles that govern a separation process. This procedure is used to transform a mixture of substances into two or more compositionally-distinct products. Separation processes can essentially be termed as mass transfer processes. The classification can be based on the means of separation, mechanical or chemical. The choice of separation depends on the pros and cons of each.
