Other separations

Absorption (chemistry)

Chemical process

Phenomenon of surface adhesion

Theory for physical adsorption of gas molecules on a solid surface

Phenomenon of surface adhesion

Cross-flow filtration

Filtration technique

Cyclonic separation

Method of removing particulates from a fluid stream through vortex speration

Extraction (chemistry)

Chemical separation of a substance from a matrix

Process that separates solids from fluids

Process by which colloidal particles come out of suspension to precipitate as floc or flake

Fractional crystallization (chemistry)

Method for refining substances based on differences in their solubility

Freundlich equation

Empirical adsorption isotherm

Langmuir adsorption model

Model describing the adsorption of a mono-layer of gas molecules on an ideal flat surface

Liquid–liquid extraction

Method to separate compounds based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquids, usually water and an organic solvent; extraction of a substance from one liquid into another liquid phase

Microfiltration

Physical process where a fluid is passed through a special pore-sized membrane

Membrane filtration process

Process in which the electronic structure of the atom or molecule is barely perturbed upon adsorption

Recrystallization (chemistry)

Separation and purification process of crystalline solids

Reverse osmosis

Water purification process

Tendency for particles in suspension to settle down

The process by which particulates settle to the bottom of a liquid and form a sediment

Soxhlet extractor

Laboratory apparatus

Stripping (chemistry)

Separation process where one or more components are removed from a liquid stream by a vapor stream

Suction filtration

Fast filtration technique

Ultrafiltration

Filtration by force through a semipermeable membrane
