Last time, we looked at the practice of 'measuring' in analytical chemistry. We explained how chemists determine the amount of a substance and evaluate the reliability of those numerical values ...

Biomass-derived oils are important sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based liquid fuels. However, biomass oil mixtures ...

Separating mixtures into their constituent substances is essential in many fields. For example, mixture separation plays a key role in the petrochemical industry, as well as in chemical purification ...

The very first life on Earth is thought to have developed from "protocells"—liquid mixtures of many different types of molecules. Researchers from the University of Göttingen have now shown that in ...

The preceding chapters gave an overview of the many advances in chemical separations and other fields that have emerged in the last 3 decades. Despite the advances, critical challenges remain for the ...

The process of separating useful molecules from mixtures of other substances accounts for 15% of the nation's energy, emits 100 million tons of carbon dioxide and costs $4 billion annually. In a new ...

KAUST researchers developed a machine learning tool, using nearly 10,000 nanofiltration measurements, to predict the most efficient and cost-effective separation technology for chemical mixtures.

Image: Core of the new NIST miniature GEMBE chemical separation device (above left) is a machined acrylic block, shown with a quarter for scale. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and ...

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