5^th International Conference and Expo on Separation Techniques October 23-25, 2017 Paris, France

There is a broad growing worldwide interest in step change Separation Technologies, in key areas of physical sorption, distillation, membranes, absorption and heat exchange. Many of the innovative research activities are initiated by growing concern with environment (e.g. Co2 capture), equipment and energy cost, A number of new technologies find applications in neighboring processes. This new technologies include Industrial membrane filtration technology, Magnetic Separation Techniques in various fields, Cell Separation Techniques in microbiology, Distillation and filtration as separated techniques.

Chromatography is a method of separating compounds from a mixture. The technique is both preparative, analytical and is employed widely in laboratory as well as industrial standards. More than 70% of chemical analysis all over the world is done using Chromatography. It is a physical technique applied from basic organic chemistry to Forensic sciences. Some of the common applications include detection of cocaine in urine, alcohol in blood, PCB’s in fish, lead in water, etc. Chromatography is of various types-displacement chromatography, Paper chromatography, Thin layer chromatography, supercritical chromatography, expanded bed adsorption chromatography, liquid chromatography, Gas chromatography, Column fluid chromatography in various combinations.

The Hyphenated Technique is developed by coupling of a separation technique and an on-line spectroscopic detection technology. The improvements in Hyphenated Analytical Methods over the decades have significantly broadened their applications in the analysis of biomaterials, mainly natural products. In this track recent advances in the applications of various hyphenated techniques, e.g., LC-FTIR, LC-NMR, CE-MS, GC-MS, LC-MS, etc. in the context of pre-isolation analyses of crude extracts or fractions from different natural sources, isolation and  detection of natural products, chemotaxonomic studies,  DNA fingerprinting, quality control of herbal medicine, de-replication of natural products, and metabolomics studies are included.

Liquid-liquid extraction is one of the mostly employed and useful techniques in pharmaceutical sample preparation. This is because of number of characteristics, including rapid method development, simplicity, and reasonable selectivity. Another one is Solid phase extraction is a technique designed for rapid, selective sample preparation and purification prior to chromatographic analysis. The process of Crystallization is also a chemical solid–liquid separation technique, in which mass transfer of a solute from liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs. In chemical engineering the process of crystallization occurs in a crystallizer. Therefore, Crystallization is an aspect of precipitation, obtained by the variation of solubility conditions of solute in solvent, as compared to precipitation due to chemical reaction.

In the field of Chemical Engineering – separation process is the transfer of any mass that converts the substance mixture into distinctive product mixtures. “In some cases, a separation may fully divide the mixture into its pure constituents. Separations are carried out based on differences in chemical properties, or physical properties such as size, shape, mass, density, or chemical affinity, between the constituents of a mixture, and are often classified according to the particular differences they use to achieve separation. . The Separation Process in the chemical engineering includes Adsorption, Capillary electrophoresis, Centrifugation and cyclonic separation, Crystallization, Decantation, Distillation, Drying, Electrostatic Separation, Elutriation, Evaporation, Extraction, Field flow Fractionation, Magnetic separation, Precipitation, Recrystallization

Separation Techniques are the part of separation science where separation of various mixtures is done .Mixtures come in many forms and phases. Most of them can be separated, and the kind of separation method depends on what kind of mixture it is. Thus, these Separation Techniques gain importance in different kinds of industries, different fields like Petroleum Industry, biotechnology, biochemical processes, forensic science, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry.

Spectroscopy is study of materials interaction with light, generally through scattering, absorption, or transmission and is very powerful tool in material science.  The amount of material interaction depends on energy or wavelength of light and can provide a wealth of information about physical properties of those materials. The track session includes various spectroscopic techniques along with improved Hyphenated techniques developed using spectroscopy cover under it.
