UTILIZATION OF POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL IN INDUSTRIALLY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY IMPORTANT SEPARATIONS
PPT Slide
Pollution Prevention
Green Technology
Separations are ubiquitous in every industry, yet are rarely considered when determining the environmental impact of a manufacturing process. New separations technologies that eliminate the use of flammable, toxic VOC’s or the use of toxic extractants could:
Traditional solvent extraction
New separations technologies that eliminate the use of flammable, toxic VOC’s could:
Polyethylene Glycols
Aqueous Biphasic System
Variables Affecting Aqueous Biphasic Systems
Gibbs Free Energies of Hydration for Representative Biphase Forming Anions
Advantages of PEG Aqueous Biphases
