Application of two-photon selective excitation to isotope separation with high power, high resolution tunable lasers is discussed. A simple kinetic model is given to determine quantum efficiency and separation factor in terms of laser powers and relaxation constants. A numerical example is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme. Results indicate that a high quantum yield is obtainabl...

Gas storage/separation is a typical application of porous materials such as metal organic frameworks (MOFs). The adsorption/separation behavior results from the host-guest and/or guest-guest interaction and equilibration (host, porous material; guest, adsorbates). Although the driving forces for gas adsorption have been investigated, a detailed picture of interactions between gas molecules and ...

electric arc furnace dust (eafd) of ferromanganese production units, in the form of slurry, contains tar, alkalies, manganese, zinc, iron, silica, calcium, aluminum and other elements. a hydrometallurgical route based on solvent extraction technique was investigated for selective separation of manganese from the dust. leaching of the eafd resulted in an aqueous feed containing 4 g/l of manganes...

We introduce an online multiple-junction capillary isoelectric focusing fractionator (OMJ-CIEF) for separation of biological molecules in solution by pI. In OMJ-CIEF, the separation capillary is divided into seven equal sections joined with each other via tubular Nafion membrane insertions. Each junction is communicated with its own external electrolytic buffer which is used both to supply elec...

the separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures is an important process in petrochemical industries, which is traditionally performed by low temperature distillation with a high-energy consumption, or complex extractive distillationand adsorption techniques. membrane separation process is emerging as an alternative for traditional separation processes with respect to low energy and simple operation....

The separation of alkanes is important for a range of applications such as oil refinement, filtration and gas separation. Carbon nanotubes, with their large surface area are highly promising for applications utilising alkane adsorption and separation. Rather than remaining isolated however, nanotubes tend to bundle together, and the adsorption properties of such bundles and subsequent potential...

The partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas was investigated in a novel type of perm selective membrane reactor using Perowskite hollow fibers. The operating behaviour of this membrane reactor integrating the process steps selective separation of oxygen from air, selective O2 transfer in the membrane and oxidation of methane with simultaneous steam reforming was investigated theoretically...

In this work, separation performance of supported carbon membranes produced from Novolac Phenolic resin as the main precursor and carbon nanotubes as nanofiller were investigated for separation of CO2 from N2 and CH4. Supports were produced by carbonization of Novolac Phenolic resin-activated carbon mixture, and selective layer was coated by dip coating of prepa...

Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) of ferromanganese production units, in the form of slurry, contains tar, alkalies, manganese, zinc, iron, silica, calcium, aluminum and other elements. A hydrometallurgical route based on solvent extraction technique was investigated for selective separation of manganese from the dust. Leaching of the EAFD resulted in an aqueous feed containing 4 g/L of manganes...

Highly effective separation of colloidal gold nanorods/nanoplates from co-produced isotropic nanoparticles has been achieved by selective precipitation triggered by salt.
