Separation Techniques

Novel separation techniques in chemistry

The process of separation is integral unit operation in most of the modern pharmaceutical, chemical and other process plants. Among the separation processes, some are standard and conventional processes, like, distillation, absorption, adsorption, etc. These processes are quite common and the relevant technologies are well developed and well-studied. On the other hand, newer separation processes, like, membrane based techniques, super critical fluid extraction, chromatographic separation, etc., are gaining importance in modern days plants as novel separation processes.
