Microfiltration filtration characterization
Chemical Engineering

How Does Microfiltration Work?

Microfiltration is a pressure driven membrane separation method in which suspended particles are separated from a fluid when passed through a microporous membrane structure

Pressure Driven Porous membrane vs non-porous
Chemical Engineering

Pressure Driven Membrane Processes

A pressure driven membrane process is simply a membrane separation process where the feed solution is forced through a semipermeable membrane via a hydrostatic pressure gradient.

Solid Liquid Extraction (Leaching)

Solid-Liquid Extraction is a separation technique which separates a solute attached to an insoluble solid phase via an extraction solvent.

Process Principles

How Does Simple Distillation Work?

Simple distillation is the most suitable method when the solute and solvent have a boiling point difference of around 100°C
