	Separation of mixtures and chromatography
		A heterogeneous mixture of solid and liquid or solid and gas is usually fairly easy to separate because of the 2 different physical phases.
		A mixture of two or more solids is usually separated by utilizing the different chemical or physical properties of the substances.
		Chromatography works to separate a mixture because the components of a mixture distribute themselves differently when they are in contact with a "two phase system".

	Separation of Mixtures
		Mixtures are all able to be separated by exploiting some physical property.

	Mixtures and Substances HomePage
		Mixtures have a variable composition, since they can have different amounts of component substances, and hence their properties are variable and usually nondistinct.
		Heterogeneous mixtures are mixtures in which the composition is not uniform, such as chunks of one substance mixed with another or a layer of one substance over another.
		A mixture of solid particles in a liquid can be separated by pouring the mixture through a filter that traps the solid particles while the liquid passes through in a process called filtering.

	Process and device for the separation of mixtures which form an azeotrope - Patent 4349416
		A process and apparatus for the separation of components from a mixture which forms an azeotrope is disclosed by subjecting the mixture to extractive distillation to remove one of the components and regeneration to separate another component from the extracting agent added to the extractive distillation column.
		In this process, the mixture to be separated, which forms an azeotrope, is fed into the lower part of the extractive distillation column, whilst the extracting agent is fed into the upper part of this column.
		For the ethanol/water mixture preferably to be separated according to the invention, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol or ethylene glycol methyl ether may be preferably mentioned as examples of the extracting agent, and ethylene glycol may be particularly preferably mentioned as an example of the extracting agent.

	IBMEM pervaporation and vapour permeation
		Pervaporation is a method for the separation of mixtures of liquids by partial vaporization through a non-porous membrane.
		The separation principle governing pervaporation is mainly due to polarity differences and differs significantly from distillation which depends on differences in vapour liquid equilibrium relationships to affect a separation.
		Pervaporation and vapour permeation are used for an effective and economic separation of mixtures of substances with small volatility differences (boiling point) and azeotropic mixtures.

	Re: separation of mixtures
		It takes a huge amount of energy to separate charged particles (like sodium and chloride in salt) and so salt is very stable.
		The water (and pectin, sugars, and other polar things) passed through a filter and the grapeskins stayed on top (and so did the tannins and other nonpolar things that were inside the grapeskins that were not yet extrated by acetone).
		He washed the column with a nonpolar solvent and the nonpolar things came through the column faster than the polar things (which stick to clay because it is polar).

	Critical properties and phase separation in lattice Boltzmann fluid mixtures - Phase separation under a steady shearing ...
		We observe in the top view that the phase separation pattern appears to have a "string-like" form at the boundary, but that the structure within the film is actually more complicated.
		14 increases and the phase separation morphology ultimately coarsens to a state where the fluid interface lies perpendicular to the shearing planes and parallel to the flow direction.
		The surface-induced "structuring" of the blend morphology would be accentuated in the early stages of phase separation if one of the blend components has a preferential attraction to the shearing boundaries.

		The still is accompanied by a reboiler in which the source material is heated, a condenser in which the heated vapor is removed and condensed back to the liquid state, and a receiver in which the concentrated or purified liquid is collected (Washer 3).
		It is normally the preferred method of distillation when the component to be separated has a significantly lower boiling point than the other components of the mixture, as a larger boiling point difference enhances the effect of distillation (Washer 21).
		Although the effects of distillation tend to induce a single phase mixture to transform into a two phase mixture, the absence of gravity prevents the recovery of each phase separately, thus eliminating the value of distillation.

	First page of Disc Electrophoresis 2 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Zone electrophoresis provides a comparatively innocuous method for the separation of ionic mixtures and is based on differences among the electrophoretic mobilities of the constituent ions.
		In most zone techniques separation is dependent solely on the differences in the free electrophoretic mobilities among the constituent ions, and the supporting matrix, e.g., filter paper, is used primarily to reduce convection.
		Thus the separation of mixtures is achieved in such a gel matrix through dimensional as well as charge differences.

	SparkNotes: Stereoisomers: Racemic Mixtures and Enantiomeric Excess
		A solution in which both enantiomers of a compound are present in equal amounts is called a racemic mixture, or racemate.
		Therefore it is impossible to tell a racemic mixture apart from an achiral substance using polarimetry alone.
		These techniques are also applied to mixtures of enantiomers beside racemic mixtures, for example to purify a species from small amounts of its enantiomer.
