Controlling the stability of colloidal nanoparticles in multicomponent systems is crucial for advancing formulations and separation processes. This study investigates the selective agglomeration approach for binary colloidal mixtures, providing both...

As part of the so-called interfacial separation techniques, selective particle agglomeration is one of the few options that are suitable for the separation of heterogeneous, multicomponent systems of particles smaller than 1 μm. In this regard, th...

The efficiency of froth flotation drastically drops towards ultrafine particles. Some improvements may be possible using smaller bubbles and high degrees of turbulence, however, reaching their limits in the nanometer particle range. Therefore, an app...

The increasing demand for highly specific particulate products in industrial processes is a driving factor in the development of novel particle separation processes. In this work, a multidimensional separation process for wet simultaneous separation...

The recent progress in the acoustic fractionation of particulate suspensions within microfluidic devices emphasizes the utility of the acoustic fractionation process also for gas-suspended particles as a significant advancement in the field of mechan...

The processing and preparation of particulate products is an important process in modern industry and science. The enormous potential for innovation in research and development is due to the complex interactions of solids with their environment. The...

Gel electrophoresis is a powerful method for the separation of nanoparticulate suspensions into several fractions with distinct particle properties. To monitor particle migration through the three-dimensional net structure of the gel and gain insight...

Lab-on-a-Chip devices based on tilted-angle standing surface acoustic waves (tasSAWs) emerged as a promising technology for multidimensional particle separation, highly selective in particle size and acoustic contrast factor. For this active separati...

Separation functions, so-called Tromp functions, are often used to quantitatively analyze the separation behavior in particle processing with respect to individual particle descriptors. However, since the separation behavior of particles is typically...
