Eugène Vorobiev

Eugene Vorobiev is Professor Emeritus at the Compiegne University of Technology (UTC), France. He was a full Professor of Chemical Engineering and a head of the Laboratory for Agro-Industrial Technologies of UTC from 1997 to 2021. He was the founder of SF2P and is now honorary chairman. His main research interests are focused on the solid-liquid extraction, filtration, expression, and electrically assisted separations.

Program

• Introduction to Solid-Liquid Separation processes (filtration, sedimentation, centrifugation).
• Basics of filtration with cake formation (constant pressure, constant rate, variable pressure and   variable rate regimes).
• Compressible and non-compressible filter cakes.
• Determination of the specific resistance of the cake and the resistance of the filter media.
• Characterization of suspensions and cakes (porosity, permeability, specific surface area).
• Filtration regimes without cake formation and intermediate regimes.
