Unit operation is the study of necessary equations of design to apply them in the design of different chemical processes: absorption and stripping, distillation, solvent extractions, evaporative cooling, solid drying, crystallization, ion exchange, filtration, screening, sedimentation, computation methods in multistage and multicomponent systems and operations including particulate solids.
