Solubility-Based Mixture Separation

Solubility-based separation removes a compound from a mixture by making it insoluble in water. Most samples of interest contain many different components, so sample preparation is an important step before analysis. It helps remove interferences that could affect the results. This separation method is useful in both academic ...

Precipitation is a technique used to separate a mixture based on the solubility of its components. The solubility of a compound depends on the ionic strength of the solution, its pH, and temperature. Manipulation of these factors can cause a compound to become an insoluble solid, and fall out of solution. This is called precipitation.
