The plate-type coalescer was constructed and tested for the continuous separation of immiscible liquids in micro-scale. Two plates formed the main structure of the coalescer. A flat and rectangular channel was situated between the plates. The material options for the plates were PTFE, stainless steel and glass which formed the contact surfaces for the fluids in the device. The liquid-liquid dis...

Abstract The presence of water-immiscible organic liquids—commonly called non-aqueous phase liquids or NAPLs—in soils and groundwater, is a worldwide environmental problem. Typical examples NAPLs include: petroleum products, solvents liquid waste from laboratories industry. molecular components present in soils, rocks groundwater are readily transferred to the vapour aqueous phases. extent whic...

The apparent volume of distribution was defined for the first time as phase that can hold total amount a substance at measured concentration, in system composed two immiscible media are contact under conditions constant volumes, equilibrium. Its value is not affected by solute mass and it only depends on volume, volumes affinity phases system. Using this new concept distribution, we were able t...

An analysis is made for transient Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of two immiscible fluids thorough a horizontal channel. The flow above the interface is assumed to be electrically conducting while the other fluid and the channel walls are assumed to be electrically insulating. The partial differential equations governing the flow are solved analytically using two-term periodic and non-periodic ...

A quantitative understanding of three-phase flow in porous media is required to address many diverse processes in the subsurface, e.g., improved oil recovery, CO2 sequestration, and aquifer clean-up. In turn, all predictive models of three-phase flow originate from interpretations of onedimensional laboratory experiments; when these interpretations are flawed, so are the models. In this paper w...

Ionic liquids containing the hexafluoroacetylacetonate anion are immiscible with water and they exhibit strong metal-complexing ability.

Inverse vulcanization is a potential route to the use of large excesses elemental sulfur, creating high-sulfur-content polymers with many applications. The addition metal diethyldithiocarbamate catalyst was previously found bring several benefits inverse vulcanization, making process more attractive industrially. Herein reported establishment and exploration library catalysts for vulcanization....

In this study, for the first time we report on a comprehensive overview of different strategies to hyphenate droplet-based sample handling and preparation with electrophoretic separation in formats (i.e. microchip capillary electrophoresis). Droplet-interfaced electrophoresis is an emerging technique which micro/nanometric droplets are used as bridge carrier target analytes between treatment el...

Immiscible metals due to their inherent specs are insoluble over the steady state. Developing an innovative approach to this issue would be fascinating and challenge the overriding rules. Herein, we proffer the principles of synthesis of Cu-Nb nanocomposites using electrochemical deoxidation route. This method consists of the cathodic electrolysis of the nanoparticles Cu-Nb2O5 through the...

Experiments compare long-range chaotic mixing of miscible and immiscible impurities in a time-periodic flow. For the miscible case, the transport is enhanced diffusion with an effective diffusion constant determined by lobes (turnstiles) that carry impurities between vortices. For the immiscible case, the impurity is broken into a distribution of droplets. If the characteristic droplet size is ...
