A safety audit for the gas-solid fluidization experiment was conducted. The following safety concerns were found when performing the audit: operating beyond the operating limits‚ spillage of the beads‚ risk of head injury from bending over to change the beads in the apparatus or from the low bar‚ and congestion of the workspace. One of the biggest safety concerns with this lab involved the small glass beads that acted as the solid in the experiment. If the gas flow rate goes below 50 standard cubic

CHAPTER 6 MECHANICAL-PHYSICAL SEPARATION PROCESSES Introduction Separation Processes Many chemical processes materials and biological substances occur as mixtures of different components in the gas‚ liquid‚ or solid phase. In order to separate or remove one or more of the component from its original mixture‚ it must be contacted with another phase. The two-phase pair can be gas-liquid‚ gas-solid‚ liquid‚ or liquid-solid. Absorption When the two contacting phases are a gas and a liquid

Industrial Separation Research a) Identify a mixture that is separated industrially: Olive oil b) Identify which ‘sphere’ it is obtained from: Biosphere c) Identify the industrial separation processes used on this mixture: Crushing/grinding: The olive fruit is crushed and ground by a metal hammer in a mill to make a paste. Beating: The olive fruit paste is added to water is additionally beaten to extract more oil from the olive cells. Salt can be used to assist osmotic breakdown [of the cells]

The Purity and Purification of Solids Melting Point Lab Introduction: The point of this lab was to determine the eutectic point for the naphthalene biphenyl mixture‚ as well as determining the melting point of an unknown substance by comparing it with two known samples. Melting point is a temperature in which a substance changes from solid state to liquid state. Melting points are used to determine whether the given substance is pure or not. Substances that melt sharply‚ less than 1-2°C indicates

Chemistry 207 (Lab # 1) 9/11/12 Experiment #1: Cooperative Identification of an Organic Solid A. What needs to be done: In this lab‚ one will identify the identity of a colorless organic solid by experimentally finding the physical properties of the solid. Such properties include melting point‚ mixed melting point‚ and IR spectrum. With these properties‚ one will be able to compare their results of the organic solid to see if any other classmates have the same unknown sample. B. Timeline:

Experiment1Separation of mixtures by filtration and crystallisationBackgroundThe separation of a mixture of two solids can often be achieved by filtration and crystallisation. To be successful‚ this requires that the components of the mixture have different solubilities in a particular solvent. AimThe purpose of this experiment is to separate sodium chloride/charcoal and sodium chloride/copper(II) chloride mixtures.

Assignment Purification of a Mixture INTRODUCTION Mixtures obtained from the biosphere‚ lithosphere‚ hydrosphere or atmosphere can be industrially separated into their constituents. Petrol for example is obtained from crude oil found in the lithosphere. RESEARCH SKILLS When researching this assignment you will access a variety of secondary resources including web sites and textbooks. Please include a detailed bibliography You should also consider both the validity and reliability of your

Most materials in our world are mixtures. Very few materials are pure substances. The art of separating mixtures is important because it enables us to isolate pure substances. Mixtures are either homogeneous or heterogeneous. To separate a mixture there is not only one‚ but several different methods used. A mixture is a physical blend of two or more substances. An important characteristic of mixtures is that their composition may change. There are two types of mixtures however‚ Homogeneous and Heterogeneous

Mixtures and Solutions can often become confusing because solutions are mixtures‚ but not all mixtures are solutions. A mixture can either be homogeneous or heterogeneous. A homogeneous mixture is where the mixture’s components are distributed uniformly within the mixture. A heterogeneous mixture is where the components are not uniform. Mixtures can either be miscible or immiscible‚ the difference being whether or not the mixture forms a homogeneous mixture or not. In a solution a solute is soluble
