Precipitate Formation and Particle Size Control01:16

Precipitate Formation and Particle Size Control

7.2K
In precipitation gravimetry, the precipitating agent should react specifically or selectively with the analyte. While a specific reagent reacts with the analyte alone, a selective reagent can react with a limited number of chemical species.
The obtained precipitate should be either a pure substance of known composition or easily converted to one by a simple process, such as ignition or drying. In addition, the precipitate should be insoluble and easily filterable. In general, filterability...

Segregation in Fresh Concrete01:16

Segregation in Fresh Concrete

1.1K
Segregation in fresh concrete is a phenomenon where the components of the concrete mix separate, leading to uneven distribution and compromised structural integrity. This separation typically occurs when concrete is subjected to excessive horizontal movement within forms, or when it is dropped from considerable heights or forced through narrow, winding paths. As a result, heavier coarse aggregate particles settle at the bottom, while lighter, finer materials such as cement and water rise to the...

Subcellular Fractionation01:32

Subcellular Fractionation

9.8K
The homogenate obtained after cell lysis contains various membrane-bound organelles that can be further separated into pure fractions by subcellular fractionation. These isolates are used to study specific cellular components, analyze localized protein activity, and are even employed in diagnostics. Fractionation is typically achieved using centrifugation methods, the most common being density-gradient and differential centrifugation.

Centrifugation01:05

Centrifugation

9.1K
Centrifugation is a separation technique based on differences in density or size. It is commonly used to separate solids from aqueous interferents. During centrifugation, the sample is placed in centrifugation tubes and spun at high angular velocity, which allows centrifugal force to act differentially on the different densities or masses of the components. After spinning, the supernatant liquid is decanted. Depending on the specific application, either the pellet or the supernatant is retained...

Overview Of Cell Separation And Isolation01:20

Overview Of Cell Separation And Isolation

8.3K
Cell separation was first achieved in 1964 by S. H. Seal, who separated large tumor cells from the smaller blood cells using filtration. Two years later, Pohl and Hawk performed experiments on how cells respond differently to a nonuniform electric field based on the cell type. Such observations were the inception of cell separation methods, which allow isolating a single cell type from a heterogeneous sample.

Colloidal precipitates01:09

Colloidal precipitates

6.9K
The high insolubility of some precipitates can result in an unfavorable relative supersaturation. This can lead to colloidal particles with a large surface-to-mass ratio, where adsorption is promoted. For instance, in the precipitation of silver chloride, silver ions are adsorbed on the surface of the colloidal particles, forming a primary layer. This layer attracts ions of opposite charge (such as nitrate ions), forming a diffuse secondary layer of adsorbed ions. This electric double layer...

  • Focus on individual particle behavior.
  • Analysis of cluster formation, dynamics, and destruction as a function of packing fraction.

Main Results:

  • Observed a second-order phase transition from a binary gas to a segregation liquid with increasing packing fraction (C).
  • Identified segregation driven by inter-particle attraction and random motion inversely proportional to C.
  • Characterized all clusters as transient with power-law distributed separation times.

Conclusions:

  • Packing fraction significantly influences granular segregation and cluster dynamics.
  • Segregation is a result of attractive forces and scale-dependent random motion.
