9^th International Conference and Expo on Separation Techniques September 13-14, 2018 Zurich, Switzerland

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.

Membrane technologies are progressively fetching useful components of pharmaceutical production processes. For some time, membrane separation technologies of reverse osmosis, ultra-filtration and micro-filtration have been used to concentrate and purify both small and large molecules. More recent applications of membrane technologies cover a broad range of separation, concentration and purification needs. For example, pharmaceutical waste streams can be treated by Nano-filtration or evaporation to detoxify them and/or reduce the volume of waste requiring incineration.

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. Separation Techniques 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

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.

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.

The individual substances in a mixture can be separated using different methods, depending on the type of mixture. These methods include filtration, evaporation, distillation and chromatography. By Identify an appropriate separation technique to separate a mixture based on the physical properties of the components of the mixture. These properties include solubility, density, melting and boiling points, thermal stability, magnetic properties and particle size.

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.

When used with domestic wastewater, Membrane Reactor processes can harvest effluent of higher value enough to be let flow into to coastal, surface or brackish watercourses or to be domesticated for urban irrigation. Other benefits of MBRs over conventional processes include small footprint, easy retrofit and upgrade of old wastewater treatment plants. It is possible to operate MBR processes at higher mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentrations compared to conventional settlement separation systems, thus reducing the reactor volume to achieve the same loading rate.

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 neigh boring 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.

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.

Desalination is a process that extracts mineral components from saline water. More generally, desalination refers to the removal of salts and minerals from a target substance, as in soil desalination, which is an issue for agriculture. Seawater desalination is an increasingly key solution for the scarcity of water.

Saltwater is desalinated to produce water suitable for human consumption or irrigation. One by-product of desalination is salt. Most of the modern interest in desalination is focused on cost-effective provision of fresh water for human use. Along with recycled wastewater, it is one of the few rainfall-independent water sources. Currently, approximately 1% of the world's population is dependent on desalinated water to meet daily needs, but the UN expects that 14% of the world's population will encounter water scarcity by 2025.

Analytical chemistry is that the study of the separation, identification, quality control and quality assurance of the chemical parts of natural and artificial materials. Analytical chemistry is overwhelmed by instrumental examination. There are such huge numbers of various sorts of instruments today that it can appear like a confounding cluster of acronyms as opposed to a brought together field of study. Numerous investigative physicists concentrate on a solitary sort of instrument. Scholastics have a tendency to either concentrate on new applications and revelations or on new strategies for examination. The revelation of a compound present in blood that builds the danger of tumour would be a disclosure that an investigative scientific expert may be engaged with. A push to build up another strategy may include the utilization of a tuneable laser to expand the specificity and affectability of a spectrometric technique.

Most of the materials in our surroundings are mixture of two or more components. Mixtures are either heterogeneous or homogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures are uniform in composition, but Heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform in composition. The choice of Separation Techniques is based on the mixture type and difference in the chemical properties of the constituents in mixture. This track includes all the basic Separation Techniques like crystallization, distillation, centrifugation, filtration and other methods along with their advancements

Analytical & Bioanalytical Techniques deals with the analytical methods used for characterization, release, and stability testing of the chemical compounds as well as the biotechnological/biological products.
