Separation of mixtures at nano length scales: Blow torch and levitation effect

Article Abstract:

A new conceptual basis for the separation of multicomponent molecular mixtures is proposed. A separation method where different components of the mixtures are driven in opposite directions is realized by a judicious combination of two effects, viz., levitation and blow torch effects and a separation factor of 10(super 8) is obtained on nano length scales as compared to 10(super 3), obtainable through conventional methods of separation on macrolength scales.

The Stokes-Einstein relationship and the Levitation effect: Size-dependent diffusion maximum in dense fluids and cross-packed disordered solids

Article Abstract:

A molecular dynamics study of binary mixture is reported consisting of a large (host) particle and a smaller (guest) particle whose radius is varied over a range and the simulations investigate the possible existence of diffusion anomaly or levitation effect in dense fluids, previously seen for guest molecules diffusing within porous solids. The results suggest that the diffusion anomaly is seen in both close-packed solids with disorder and dense fluids.

Evidence in support of levitation effect as the reason for size dependence of ionic conductivity in water: A molecular dynamics simulation

Article Abstract:

Extensive molecular dynamics simulations of model ions in water at high concentrations are described. The results suggest that the size-dependency diffusivity maximum persists up to high loadings and the uncharged solute and the charged solute are treated in a similar fashion within the levitation effect.
