Announcements (previous ones) or Follow @4m3separations 21 Nov: the slides for the Adsorption section were slightly updated: 3 new slides (including 2 practice problems, with final answers) have been added. This is based on the mid-semester feedback you gave me, that you wanted more problems to work on. 24 Nov: a new and final assignment has been posted for you to work on, and is due on 3 December. These questions are all based on (or directly) from final exams. 25 Nov: a neat way of understanding and trying out the osmotic effect cheaply and easily at home. 26 Nov: details about the final exam are found here, with some suggestions, and copies or prior final exams. 27 Nov: Don't forget about course evaluations for 4M03 - these really help me keep improving the course every year. 29 Nov: a small missing piece of information was added to question 3 in assignment 5. Please use 40 kg/hr of solvent for the counter-current system.
