Dichloromethane, a solvent widely used in organic chemistry and manufacturing, is what chemistry Prof. Bryan Hunter calls a “Goldilocks of the solvents.” DCM is particularly useful as a reaction ...

DCM is immiscible, meaning it doesn't dissolve in water, and it evaporates easily, simplifying the process of separating and extracting compounds. Unlike many other solvents, it won't catch on fire, ...

A 3:1 mixture of ethyl acetate and ethanol, for example, can be an effective replacement for DCM in some column chromatography applications, but may not be an effective “catch-all” extraction solvent ...

A pilot plant for a new proprietary solvent extraction process to treat an iron ore, vanadium, titanium mining project is running according to expectations Australian resources company TNG Limited ...

It is very important to separate and purify products from synthetic reaction mixtures. Extraction methods are used for separating the desired product from un-reacted starting materials or from ...

The technique of extraction is used to separate an aqueous solution of copper (II) chloride and iodine. Organic solvents with densities greater than and less than that of the aqueous solution are used ...
