DESCRIPTION
This immersive experience allows students to explore and understand the fundamental principles of ion exchange, offering them the opportunity to observe chemical processes at a microscopic level, manage flows in simulated industrial systems and experiment with advanced parameters in real time.
OBJECTIVE
Developing skills in understanding and managing the processes associated with ion exchange, from the basic concepts through to their application in industrial settings.
ACTIVITIES
- Introduction to the fundamentals of ion exchange in a virtual laboratory, where students observe the behaviour of resins in contact with different solutions and identify the processes of saturation and regeneration through microscopic visualisations.
- Management of flow and regeneration processes in a simulated industrial environment, interacting with resin column systems through which glucose syrup circulates, and controlling the various stages of the process: desugaring, regeneration, slow washing, fast washing and recirculation.
- Advanced simulation of flow and regeneration using internal visualisation tools and pipe configuration, allowing an understanding of the interaction between chemical streams and resins, as well as the ability to test the conditions that trigger automatic regeneration.
