Engineers developed a membrane that filters the components of crude oil by their molecular size, an advance that could dramatically reduce the amount of energy needed for crude oil fractionation.

From everyday cooking oils to infant formula, many foods we eat rely on carefully controlled processing methods that help extract key ingredients from plants. One of the tools often used in this ...

The chosen extraction methods involved using hexane solvent in a heating environment and extraction by a mechanical press. Extraction with hexane occurred at a temperature of 90 °C for four h and ...

Seed flour of three varieties of bean was extracted in a series of organic solvents with increasing polarity (n-hexane, petroleum ether ... and linoleic acid reducing capacity (LARC) by the methods ...

A conventional method for generating organolithium compounds is done by reacting organohalide compounds, molecules containing a carbon–halogen bond, with lithium metal in an organic solvent.

Rice University rresearchers have developed a method for conducting chemical reactions using water instead of hazardous solvents. By designing metal complex surfactants (MeCSs) that self-assemble into ...

This study proposed new solvents for replacing hexane to extract fatty acids and hydrophobic bioactive compounds from coproducts obtained from almond- and peanut-based milk processing. The COSMO-RS ...

(Nanowerk News) Using a simple solvent sieve method, researchers from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) have taken the lead in developing highly efficient and stable ...

[3] talks about the fact that there were no efficient results. Thus, concluding that the extraction method, using hexane and ethanol together with dry ice as solvents, is efficient compared to other ...

Consumer Reports outlines the three primary methods to remove caffeine from regular coffee beans. The most common uses a chemical solvent called methylene chloride, also known as dichloromethane.
