Study Notes
Separation Processes
- The primary purpose of a separation process is to isolate and purify the desired components from a mixture of substances.
Classification of Separations
- Separations can be classified into various categories, including mechanical, thermal, and chemical separations.
Purification of Raw Materials
- Raw materials must be in their pure form to be used in various applications, and this is achieved through separation processes.
Principle of Separations
- Separations exploit differences in physical or chemical properties between components to achieve the desired separation.
Combination of Separation Operations
- Multiple separation operations can be combined to achieve the desired separation when a single operation is not sufficient to achieve the desired level of purity.
