A new liquid-liquid countercurrent process based on vortexing of liquid is described and an application of the process in separation of a mixture of acidic, basic, and neutral compounds by controlled pH extraction is given. The extractor consists of four mixer-settler pairs, and the liquid phase is driven by vortexing which is generated by stirring. This vortexing countercurrent chromatography (VCCC) is applicable in general preparative separation and continuous flow chemical synthesis.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
