  2. Degassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degassing

    This method has the advantage of being able to prevent redissolution of the gas, so it is used to produce very pure solvents. New applications are in inkjet systems where gas in the ink forms bubbles that degrade print quality, a degassing unit is placed prior to the print head to remove gas and prevent the buildup of bubbles keeping good ...

  3. Vacuum evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_evaporation

    The vacuum evaporation treatment process consists of reducing the interior pressure of the evaporation chamber below atmospheric pressure. This reduces the boiling point of the liquid to be evaporated, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for heat in both the boiling and condensation processes.

  4. Vacuum drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_drying

    This decreases the boiling point of water inside that product and thereby increases the rate of evaporation significantly. The result is a significantly increased drying rate of the product. [2] The vacuum drying process is a batch operation performed at reduced pressures and lower relative humidity compared to ambient pressure, enabling faster ...

  5. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    Evaporation is an essential part of the water cycle. The sun (solar energy) drives evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, moisture in the soil, and other sources of water. In hydrology, evaporation and transpiration (which involves evaporation within plant stomata) are collectively termed evapotranspiration. Evaporation of water occurs when ...

  6. Superheated water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheated_water

    Water becomes less polar and behaves more like an organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol. Solubility of organic materials and gases increases by several orders of magnitude and the water itself can act as a solvent, reagent , and catalyst in industrial and analytical applications, including extraction, chemical reactions and cleaning.

  7. Flash evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_evaporation

    The water is heated and then routed into a reduced-pressure flash evaporation "stage" where some of the water flashes into steam. This steam is subsequently condensed into salt-free water. The residual salty liquid from that first stage is introduced into a second flash evaporation stage at a pressure lower than the first stage pressure.

  8. Solution polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_polymerization

    Polyvinyl acetate used further for polyvinyl alcohol is manufactured by radical polymerization in methanol solution. Liquid polybutadienes are made by anionic or radical polymerization in hydrocarbon solutions. Butyl rubber (IIR) by low temperature cationic copolymerization of isobutylene with isoprene in ethylene or methylchloride solution.

  9. Thin-layer chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-layer_chromatography

    The container is covered to prevent solvent evaporation. The solvent migrates up the plate by capillary action, meets the sample mixture, and carries it up the plate (elutes the sample). The plate is removed from the container before the solvent reaches the top of the plate; otherwise, the results will be misleading.
