Magnets sustainably separate mixtures of rare earth metals Date: October 23, 2019 Source: University of Pennsylvania Summary: A new study describes a novel approach for purifying rare earth metals ...

The most striking result was taking a 50/50 mixture of lanthanum and dysprosium and getting back 99.7% dysprosium in one step--a "100% boost" compared to the same method but without using a magnet.

The NMR-based analysis enabled the mapping of each step in the conversion process—from complex mixtures to multiple high-value chemicals products. "Solid-state NMR provides a way to identify ...

This strategy allows nitrogen to be separated efficiently from a nitrogen–methane mixture. We then created a MOF containing two different linkers, fumarate and mesaconate ( mes ), in a 2:1 ratio.

A team of chemists and engineers in China has developed a new, efficient way to separate oil and water mixtures. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes how they ...

Chemists develop single molecule sieves to separate complex molecular mixtures. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 1, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2013 / 02 / 130217084906.htm ...

They refer to one of the experiments they conducted, which allowed them to obtain 99.7% dysprosium in one step from a 50/50 mixture of lanthanum and dysprosium.

Mix masters: With engineers recovering oil and gas from marginal reserves, flow separators, and the valves that operate them, are becoming increasingly vital. From the brutal heat of the desert to the ...

What happens to the color of the mixture? Do you see separate layers forming? Now, add one teaspoon of salt to the mixture in cup 3. Put the lid on the cup and shake it for 20 to 30 seconds.
