Several techniques are employed for solvent recovery in nanotechnology:
Distillation: This method involves heating the solvent to vaporize it and then condensing the vapor back into liquid form. Distillation is effective for solvents with different boiling points. Membrane Filtration: Utilizing nanoporous membranes, this technique separates the solvent from other components based on molecular size and affinity. Adsorption: Porous materials like activated carbon or silica gels are used to adsorb solvents, which can later be desorbed and recovered. Chromatography: This method separates solvents based on their interaction with a stationary phase and can be tailored for specific solvent recovery needs.
