Unfortunately, alternatives to distillation, such as separating molecules according to their chemical properties or size, remain underdeveloped and/or expensive to scale. Engineers need to
develop better separation techniques that do not rely heavily on heat.
This course highlights seven chemical separation processes that, if improved, would reap great global benefits. We will learn why each separation is important, how the separation is performed currently, and together we will look to the future for solutions!The 7 separations are:
1. Hydrocarbons from crude oil
2. Uranium from seawater
3. Alkenes from alkanes
4. Greenhouse gases from emissions
5. Rare-earth metals from ores
6. Benzene derivatives from each other
7. Trace contaminants from water
