http://www.che.com Chemical Engineering en-us 2013 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:33:38 EDT The Asia FLLEX (flow liquid-liquid extraction) module is a flow chemistry equivalent to a separating funnel, yet involves no shaking, nor does it rely on gravity. It is suitable for the preparation of samples prior to... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/sep_liquid_liquid_and_gas_liquid/liquid_liquid_extraction/9800.html Mon, 1 Oct 2012 0:00:00 EDT The Model SFT-110 benchtop supercritical fluid extractor is an improved version of this company’s original system. Supercritical fluid extraction is an alternative to traditional... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/sep_liquid_liquid_and_gas_liquid/liquid_liquid_extraction/9696.html Sat, 1 Sep 2012 0:00:00 EDT In obtaining a degree or even a professional license in chemical engineering, there is little, if any, mention of facial hair. Nevertheless, that aspect of my appearance was surprisingly pivotal at one particular moment in my career. At that time, I had zero facial hair — no moustache, no beard, and no... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/sep_liquid_liquid_and_gas_liquid/liquid_liquid_extraction/6116.html Mon, 1 Nov 2010 0:00:00 EDT A dehydration process — which uses about half the energy required by thermal methods for drying brown coal or sludge — is being developed by the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (Tokyo, Japan; edlinks.che.com/6897-532). The process uses liquefied dimethyl ether (DME) as the... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/sep_liquid_liquid_and_gas_liquid/liquid_liquid_extraction/3283.html Sun, 1 Jul 2007 0:00:00 EDT Last month, after just two years, Maaike Kroon completed her Ph.D. from the Technical University of Delft (Netherlands; edlinks.che.com/6891-544) for developing a sustainable and inexpensive production process that enables reaction and separation operations to be performed in the same vessel. The process... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/sep_liquid_liquid_and_gas_liquid/liquid_liquid_extraction/3195.html Mon, 1 Jan 2007 0:00:00 EST Toyo Engineering Corp. (TEC; Tokyo; edlinks.che.com/5829-536) has developed a new, cryogenic process for extracting natural-gas liquids (NGLs; ethane, propane, butane and other hydrocarbons) from liquefied natural gas (LNG). The Coreflux-LNG process boasts an ethane recovery efficiency of around 98%... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/sep_liquid_liquid_and_gas_liquid/liquid_liquid_extraction/2944.html Mon, 1 May 2006 0:00:00 EDT The presence of TCA (2,4,6-trichloroanisole) in cork can lead to undesirable tastes or smells in wine; this so-called cork taint affects about 3–6% of bottled wine. Although techniques (such as boiling in water or striping with superheated steam) have been used to remove TCA from cork, removal... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/sep_liquid_liquid_and_gas_liquid/liquid_liquid_extraction/2922.html Sat, 1 Apr 2006 0:00:00 EST Another process that removes up to 90% of the TCA from cork (see item above) was recently launched by Cork Supply USA (Benica, Calif.... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/sep_liquid_liquid_and_gas_liquid/liquid_liquid_extraction/2923.html Sat, 1 Apr 2006 0:00:00 EST Process System Enterprise Ltd. (PSE; London, U.K.; edlinks.che.com/5825-542) has launched the latest of a series of gPROMS Advanced Model Libraries (AMLs) for Gas-Liquid Contactors (GLCs).
