  2. Extraction (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraction_(chemistry)

    Extraction in chemistry is a separation process consisting of the separation of a substance from a matrix. The distribution of a solute between two phases is an equilibrium condition described by partition theory. This is based on exactly how the analyte moves from the initial solvent into the extracting solvent.

  3. Decanter centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decanter_Centrifuge

    Feed goes into a horizontal bowl, which rotates. The bowl is composed of a cylindrical part and a conical part. The separation takes place in the cylindrical part of the bowl. The fast rotation generates centrifugal forces up to 4000 x g. Under these forces, the solid particles with higher density are collected and compacted on the wall of the ...

  4. Fragrance extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragrance_extraction

    The remaining waxy mass is known as a concrete, which is a mixture of essential oil, waxes, resins, and other lipophilic (oil-soluble) plant material, since these solvents effectively remove all hydrophobic compounds in the raw material. The solvent is then removed by a lower temperature distillation process and reclaimed for re-use.

  5. Microwave chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_chemistry

    Specific microwave effects are those effects that cannot be (easily) emulated through conventional heating methods. Examples include: (i) selective heating of specific reaction components, (ii) rapid heating rates and temperature gradients, (iii) the elimination of wall effects, and (iv) the superheating of solvents. Microwave-specific effects ...

  6. Separation process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_process

    A separation process is a method that converts a mixture or a solution of chemical substances into two or more distinct product mixtures, [1] a scientific process of separating two or more substances in order to obtain purity. At least one product mixture from the separation is enriched in one or more of the source mixture's constituents.

  7. Microwave digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_digestion

    Microwave digestion is a chemical technique used to decompose sample material into a solution suitable for quantitative elemental analysis. [1] It is commonly used to prepare samples for analysis using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) , atomic absorption spectroscopy , and atomic emission spectroscopy (including ICP-AES ).

  8. Acid–base extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_extraction

    Acid–base extraction is a subclass of liquid–liquid extractions and involves the separation of chemical species from other acidic or basic compounds. [1] It is typically performed during the work-up step following a chemical synthesis to purify crude compounds [2] and results in the product being largely free of acidic or basic impurities.

  9. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

    A vessel that includes (a) primary separation device and/or section, (b) secondary "gravity" settling (separating) section, (c) mist extractor to remove small liquid particles from the gas, (d) gas outlet, (e) liquid settling (separating) section to remove gas or vapor from oil (on a three-phase unit, this section also separates water from oil ...
