Most industrial chemists spend their days separating the components of large quantities of chemical mixtures into pure or purer forms. The processes involved, such as distillation, account for 10–15% ...

Purifying mixtures without using heat would lower global energy use, emissions and pollution — and open up new routes to resources, say David S. Sholl and Ryan P. Lively. You have full access to this ...

A recent report in the journal Science Advances from researchers at the University of Kansas shows a new eco-friendly method for separating the chemicals found in common refrigerants for easier ...

The composition of suspicious powders that may contain illicit drugs can be analyzed using a quick and simple method called magneto-Archimedes levitation (MagLev), according to a new study. A team of ...

There is a growing demand for high purity chemicals within the technical, life science and fine chemical industries. As new synthetic routes are discovered and purity requirements increase, the demand ...

Refining metals, manufacturing fertilizers and powering fuel cells for heavy vehicles are all processes that require purified hydrogen. But purifying, or separating, that hydrogen from a mix of other ...

Flash column chromatography is a method of chemical separation that is used to purify chemical mixtures. It is also known as flash purification, due to its function as a purification method. It is ...
