Partitioning selectivity

Partitioning selectivity of proteins can be achieved in RME based on the hydrophobic nature of proteins due to the fact that RMs provide both hydrophobic and hydrophilic environments to solutes simultaneously. 

Solvent extraction is the process in which one or more solutes partition selectively between two immiscible liquid phases. The process has many applications ... 

Solvent extraction, or liquid—liquid distribution, is the process in which one or more solutes partition selectively between two immiscible liquid phases (Rydbery, Musikas and Choppin 1992). The process is applied industrially in hydrometallurgy e.g., recovery of copper and nickel from ores, in nuclear fuel... 

Membrane extraction encompasses a class of liquid-phase separations where the primary driving force for transport stems from the concentration difference between the feed and extractant liquids rather than a pressure gradient, as is the case with most of the other processes discussed above. A microporous membrane placed between the feed and the extractant liquids functions primarily as a phase separator. The degree of separation achievable is determined by the relative partition coefficients among individual solutes. This operationx is known as membrane solvent extraction. If a nonporous, permselective membrane is used instead, however, the selectivity of the membrane would be superimposed on the partitioning selectivity in this case the process may be referred to as perstraction. These process concepts are illustrated in Fig. 34.

A number of methods for partitioning selected sequences from the background, which are chosen empirically by researchers, are available. For the selection of aptamers against proteins,... 

The partition (selection) and amplification steps are repeated so that the candidate mixture contains fewer and fewer unique sequences with increased average degree of affinity for the retained nucleic acids. 

Polypyridine Torand 1. Complexes of alkali metal triflates and picrates have been prepared from the monotriflate salt of torand 1, which is isolated directly from the macrocyclization reaction mixture. As shown in Figure 3, neutralization of the triflate salt with alkali metal hydroxides or carbonates gives the alkali metal complexes. With triflate or picrate counterions, torand complexes and salts partition selectively into chlorofonn rather than water. Thus 1 can be shuttled back and forth between the triflate salt and various complexes simply by washing the chloroform solution with aqueous acid or base. The free ligand is prepared by reaction of the triflate salt with tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide in butanol/acetonitrile. Combustion microanalysis showed that the Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs complexes all have 1 1 host/guest stiochiome-try, despite the cavity/ion size mismatch at both ends of the series. The X-ray crystal...

A much abbreviated list includes the molecular basis of equilibrium partitioning of molecules between different phases enthal-pic and entropic contributions to partitioning/selectivity the molecular basis of afBnity binding in bioseparations nonisothermal analysis of absorption columns, adsorption beds, distillation columns, etc. multicomponent multistage separations in distillation columns numerical methods for multicomponent multistage countercurrent separation processes experimental methods in separation studies hybrid separation processes selection of separation processes for solving a separation problem reaction-separation/ separation-reaction/reaction-separation-reaction processes and devices. 

Another benefit for the SFR fuel cycle system is the reduction of environmental burden by recycling all actinide nuclides and partitioning selected fission products (FPs). The spent fuel contains minor actinides (MAs ie, neptunium, americium, curium, etc.) as well as uranimn and plutonium. In the conventional nuclear fuel cycle, those MAs and FPs are disposed of in a deep geological repository as high-level radioactive wastes. Because of the long-lived radioactive MAs such as Am (half-life 433 years) and Np (half-life 2.1 million years), it takes several hundred thousand years to reduce the radiotoxicity of high-level radioactive waste to the level of natural uranium.
