Hybrid Separation Techniques used in Industries
Hybrid Separation Techniques used in Industries Industrial separation processes are technical procedures which are used in industry to separate a product from impurities or other products. The original mixture may either be a natural resource (like ore, oil or sugar cane) or the product of a chemical reaction (like a drug or an organic solvent). Separation processes are of great economic importance as they are accounting for 40 – 90% of capital and operating costs in industry. The separation processes of mixtures are including besides others washing, extraction, pressing, drying, clarification, evaporation, crystallization and filtration. The study of hybrid separation technology is gaining momentum in developing more sustainable and economical processes. Separation procedures account for 40 to 70% of a wide range of industries' capital and operating costs. Energy consumption, production profits, and product costs are all heavily influenced by separation activities. D...
