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. A solute A or several solutes are absorbed from the gas phase into a solid phase.
Distillation
A volatile vapor phase and a liquid phase that vaporizes are involved.
Liquid-liquid Extraction

When the two phases are liquids, where a solute or solutes are removed from one liquid phase to another liquid phase
Leaching (extraction)
If a fluid is being used to extract a solute from a solid.
Crystallization
Solute components soluble in a solution can be removed from the solution by adjusting the conditions such as temperature or concentration.
Adsorption
One or more components of a liquid or gas stream are absorbed on the surface or in the pores of a solid adsorbent. Membrane Processing
The relatively thin, solid membrane controls the rate of movement of molecules between two phases.

Physical-Chemical vs. Mechanical-Physical
Physical-chemical
Based on physical-chemical differences in the molecules themselves and on mass transfer of the molecules
Individual molecules are separated into two phases because of these molecular differences
 Examples : Absorption, distillation, extraction, crystallization, membrane processing. Mechanical-Physical
Separation is not accomplished on a molecular scale nor is it due to the differences among the various molecules.
Separation will be accomplished using mechanical-physical forces and not molecular or chemical forces and diffusion.
Examples :

Filtration
In filtration a pressure difference

    Six Degrees Of Separation

    • 1389 Words

    In the opening lines of Fred Schepisi’s 1993 film, “Six Degrees of Separation”, Ouisa Kittredge states, “I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of separation.” This refers to the theory that each person is separated from another person by no more than six people. This theory will turn out to play a major role in the plot of the film. The entertaining and flashy movie was filled with “chaos and control”, which is respectively referred to Wassily Kandinsky’s paintings, “Black Lines” and “Several Circles”. The chaos begins with Ouisa and Flan Kittredge, two New York City socialites, who live in a lavish Fifth Avenue apartment, welcome a young African American man named Paul, who claims to be Sidney Poitier’s son, into their apartment. Little do the Kittredges know, Paul will eventually contribute to the theory that everyone is separated by only six other people. New, unusual experiences can instantly change one’s self and in return, prompt the person of re-evaluating their life and their identity that separated them from all other’s.…

    Disengagement Theory

    The social theories of aging can be described as expected progressions from midlife to old age based on social factors. It is noted that there was acceptance that as we approach old age we give up roles previously earned in adult-hood. This idea was then extended in the disengagement theory, proposed by Cumming and Henry, which is the process of individuals withdrawing and isolating from prior social interactions due to age. (Henry and Cumming, 1959). The disengagement theory in this case refers to the process of individuals withdrawing and isolating from prior social interactions due to age and await their death in whichever way it comes.…

    Splitting of ego

    • 544 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The term "splitting" has some long-established uses in psychiatry and goes back to the general concept of a capacity for psychic splitting in the human being. These usages are precursors of the concept of splitting as defined by Freud. They are found in the nineteenth century in relation to hysteria and hypnosis (splitting of the personality, multiple personalities, dissociation) and in Pierre Janet's work, in which the concept of a deficiency of psychological synthesis plays an important role. Freud and Breuer return to the concept of splitting in relation to "splitting of consciousness" and from 1894 ("The Psycho-Neuroses of Defence"), Freud provides a causality for this process: "For these patients whom I analysed had enjoyed good mental health until the moment at which an occurrence of incompatibility took place in their ideational lifehat is to say, until their ego was faced with such an experience, an idea or a feeling which aroused such a distressing affect that the subject decided to forget about it because he had no confidence in his power to resolve the contradiction between that incompatible idea and his ego by means of thought-activity" 1…

    The Escape

    W. Somerset Maugham, a famous English writer, was born in 1874 in Paris. He received his medical degree, but he never practiced medicine; the ambition to write dominated his entire life. In 1897 "Liza of Lambeth", Maugham's first novel, appeared. It had no success. For the next ten years Maugham wrote and starved. He turned out a steady stream of plays and novels none of which excited much attention. His luck changed in 1907. In that year "Lady Frederic", a comedy of manners, was produced in London. It had a bright, fashionable success. By and by, Maugham became internationally celebrated; his plays were performed all over the world. Now independent and well able to enjoy life Maugham began to travel. He came to know Europe thoroughly and spent long periods in the United States, the South Seas and China. His favorite country was Spain ("The Land of the Blessed Virgin" and "Don Fernando"). In 1915 Maugham published a novel that had been in preparation for many years. Called "Of Human Bondage" it was received by critics with great respect. Over the years, it has become a modern classic. Many popular successes followed its publication: "Ashenden", "Moon and Sixpence", "Cakes and Ale", etc. He died in 1965.…
