Researchers developed a microfluidic method that combines electric-field-driven flow and viscoelastic forces to improve ...

The separation process can be conducted using various instruments, but the most fitting method depends on the mixture’s properties. This article covers the importance of solid-liquid separation in the ...

It may not be the most glamourous of processes, but filtration, purification and separation are essential aspects of sample preparation, vital to almost all researchers’ day-to-day work. One company, ...

Rare earth elements are essential for modern technology, but their similar chemistry makes separation difficult and expensive ...

Crossflow (or tangential flow) filtration, in which the feed liquid passes both parallel and perpendicular to the membrane, allowing both retentate and permeate to be collected. Typical applications ...

As we shift toward more sustainable fuels, natural gas and biogas, which mainly contain methane (CH4), have become important sources of energy and raw materials for chemical production. However, these ...

The global food processing industry is increasingly dependent on separation, filtration and purification equipment. Used to help preserve the quality of food and extend shelf life, these elements are ...

A microfluidic approach combines electric slip and viscoelastic forces to sort nanoscale particles, increasing the purity of synthetic beads and cell vesicles.
