Technology used in separation of mixtures - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Real Life Applications:
        
        food colouring separation and analysis: investigating food colouring/dye content in various food products ensuring they comply with regulations and labeling standards
        
        ink separation: to demonstrate how different inks in pens can be separated
      - Principle: The principle involved can be partition chromatography or adsorption chromatography because the substances are partitioned or distributed between liquid 'phases'.
      - Procedure
        
        Selecting a suitable type of development: It is decided based on the complexity of the solvent, paper, mixture, etc.
        
        Selecting a suitable filter paper: Selection of filter paper is done based on the size of the pores and the sample quality
        
        Prepare the sample: Sample preparation includes the dissolution of the sample in a suitable solvent (inert with the sample under analysis) used in making the mobile phase
        
        Spot the sample on the paper: Samples should be spotted at a proper position on the paper by using a capillary tube
        
        Chromatogram development: Chromatogram development is spotted by immersing the paper in the mobile phase
        Paper drying and compound detection: Once the chromatogram is developed, the paper is dried using an air drier.
- - - - Reason: separate crude oil into different, more useful hydrocarbon products based on their relative molecular weights in a distillation tower.
