Oregon State University scientists have patented a better, more environmentally friendly process for separating two metals ...

In many chemical-related industries, such as pharmaceuticals, oil refineries, and food and beverage factories, separating organic liquid mixtures is an essential step. A staple method to achieve this ...

Last time, we looked at the practice of 'measuring' in analytical chemistry. We explained how chemists determine the amount of a substance and evaluate the reliability of those numerical values ...

Separating molecules is critical to producing many essential products. For example, in petroleum refining, the hydrocarbons – chemical compounds composed of hydrogens and carbons – in crude oil are ...

Membranes made from metal–organic frameworks contain modular pores that can separate mixtures of gas. By changing the shape of these pores to improve molecular separation, we produced a membrane that ...

Refining crude oil into usable products typically demands one of the most energy-hungry steps ...
