Industry separates crude oil, natural gas and chemical mixtures into pure products by means of fractionating distillation columns. This process is energy-intensive, but a new type of column structure ...

Postnova Analytics has published an applications report that presents data from a collaboration with the Analytical Development group at Biogen Inc. on separation of a virus mixture using Asymmetrical ...

In general, liquid-liquid extraction is applied where alternative separation technologies such as distillation are uneconomical, or even unsuitable. Typical examples: Simultaneous separation of ...

A solid sorbent that selectively binds hydrocarbons may help the petrochemical industry reduce costs and energy consumption by increasing the efficiency of—or eliminating—energy-intensive separations ...

Several industries require essential processes for separating mixtures into their constituent substances. Advancing research, scientists from Japan have now developed a novel, versatile, and ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

A polymer separation membrane has been developed that selectively allows carbon dioxide to pass through with simple heat treatment. It is expected to dramatically reduce the expense of carbon dioxide ...
