Separation of liquid mixtures
The study of the separation of liquid mixtures is carried out in unique “homemade” pervaporation and perstraction apparatuses. While pervaporation can separate various liquid mixtures, including azeotropic mixtures, the goal of perstraction experiments is to obtain an enantiomerically pure compound and capture various drugs from water. The research takes place on two levels, namely by experimental determination of transport and separation properties on membranes with suitable selectors, and at the same time theoretically, where modeling using molecular dynamics is directly used to understand the elementary steps of separation with the investigated selectors and the influence of other process parameters (polarity of solvents, pH, etc.).
