Density-Defying! What Doesn’t Depend on Settling/Floatation?
The principle of Archimedes’ buoyancy, vital to understanding floatation, often overshadows processes independent of density. Consider chromatography, a separation technique where molecular interactions with a stationary phase, not density differences, drive separation. Similarly, the Stokes’ Law calculations applicable to settling do not fully explain electrostatic separation techniques, which rely on charge and electrical fields. Therefore, […]
