  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. 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 ...

  4. Winterization of oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winterization_of_oil

    Winterization of oil is a process that uses a solvent and cold temperatures to separate lipids and other desired oil compounds from waxes.Winterization is a type of fractionation (also known as fractionate crystallization), the general process of separating the triglycerides found in fats and oils, using the difference in their melting points, solubility, and volatility.

  5. Oil–water separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil–water_separator

    Each has different oil separation capability and are used in different industries. Oil water separators are designed and selected after consideration of oil separation performance parameters and life cycle cost considerations. "Oil" can be taken to mean mineral, vegetable and animal oils, and the many different hydrocarbons.

  6. Filtration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filtration

    The primary goal of oil filtration is to enhance the oil’s performance, thereby protecting the machinery and extending its service life. [ 3 ] Filtration is also used to describe biological and physical systems that not only separate solids from a fluid stream but also remove chemical species and biological organisms by entrainment ...

  7. 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.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Centrifugal water–oil separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_water–oil...

    In a centrifugal oil and water separator, the force of gravity is one-thousand [citation needed] times greater that of the coalescing plate pack separator or the petrol interceptor, so the separation is much greater. Not only is the force of separation greater, but there are fewer working parts so maintenance is much easier and cheaper. [5]
