Melt crystallization has emerged as a versatile and energy‐efficient method for the purification and separation of complex mixtures. By controlling the solidification of a molten phase, this technique ...

While the phenomenon of phase separation has historically been a problem for glass producers, it is now known to offer advantages in the production of certain materials such as glass ceramics and ...

A team of researchers has developed a new type of material that could make the process of separating gases cleaner and more ...

Numerous industrial processes make use of blends. Researchers have studied how the external electric field affects the rate of component separation in blends composed of polymers and liquid crystals ...

A new method to evaluate the role of fractional crystallization is presented in this paper, based on the Rayleigh Law for trace elements. A major element "j" (x) and a trace element "i" (y) of a set ...

Metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds ordinarily appear as three-dimensional crystals. An international team has now devised a method for preparing these materials in 2-D form—as flat platelets—and ...

Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered a new method for removing carbon dioxide from ambient air while conducting a study that was intended to help remove contaminants from ...

Chemical engineers have developed a new way to manufacture zeolitic membranes, state-of-the-art materials used for gas separation in harsh conditions. Zeolites are porous minerals that occur both ...

BJ Services Co., Lafayette, La. A new method calculates brine crystallization temperatures at elevated pressure based on the true crystallization temperature and the brine composition. The method ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 103, No. 51 (Dec. 19, 2006), pp. 19243-19248 (6 pages) High-throughput screening and optimization experiments are ...
