They have been used for many years in biotechnology biotechnological applications as Denaturation biochemistry non denaturing and benign separation media. Recently, they have been used for metal ion separations, environmental remediation, metallurgical applications and as a reaction media. Introduction In 1896, Beijerinck first noted an incompatibility in solutions of agar , a water soluble polymer, with soluble starch or gelatine . Upon mixing, they separated into two immiscible phase matter phases . Subsequent investigation has led to the determination of many other aqueous biphasic systems, of which the polyethylene glycol PEG dextran system is the most extensively studied. Other systems that form aqueous biphases are PEG sodium carbonate or PEG and phosphates , citrates or sulfates . Aqueous biphasic systems are used during downstream processing mainly in biotechnological and chemical industries. The two phases It is a common observation that when oil and water are poured into the same container, they separate into two phases or layers, because they are immiscible . In general, aqueous or water based solutions, being polar, are immiscible with non polar organic solvents chloroform , toluene , hexane etc and form a two phase system. However, in an ABS, both immiscible ... on ABS DEFAULTSORT Aqueous Two Phase System Category Unit operations Category Separation processes ... more details
Aqueous homogeneous reactors AHR are a type of nuclear reactor in which soluble nuclear fuel nuclear salts usually uranium sulfate or uranium nitrate have been dissolved in water. The fuel is mixed with the coolant and the neutron moderator moderator , thus the name homogeneous of the same physical state The water can be either heavy water or light water , both which need to be very pure. A heavy water aqueous homogeneous reactor can achieve criticality turn on with natural uranium dissolved as uranium sulfate. Citation needed date February 2007 Thus, no enriched uranium is needed for this reactor. The heavy water versions have the lowest specific fuel requirements least amount of nuclear fuel is required to start them . Even in light water versions less than 1 pound 454 grams of plutonium 239 or uranium 233 is needed for operation. Neutron economy in the heavy water versions is the highest ... s to over 1,000,000 watts with no problems observed. Aqueous homogeneous reactors were sometimes ... to manage.

Multiple issues context September 2008 Infobox chemical analysis name Aqueous normal phase chromatography image caption acronym classification chromatography analytes manufacturers related Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography Ion exchange chromatography hyphenated Aqueous normal phase chromatography ANP is a chromatography chromatographic technique which involves the mobile phase region between reversed phase chromatography RP and organic normal phase chromatography ONP . Principle In normal phase chromatography, the Stationary phase chemistry stationary phase is Chemical polarity polar and the mobile phase is chemical polarity nonpolar . In reversed phase we have just the opposite the stationary phase is nonpolar and the mobile phase is polar. Typical stationary phases for normal phase chromatography are silica or organic moieties with Cyanide cyano and amine amino functional groups. For reversed phase, alkyl hydrocarbons are the preferred stationary phase octadecyl C18 is the most common stationary phase, but octyl C8 and butyl C4 are also used in some applications. The designations for the reversed phase materials refer to the length of the hydrocarbon chain. In normal phase chromatography, the most nonpolar compounds elute first and the most polar compounds elute last. The mobile phase consists of a very nonpolar solvent like hexane or heptane mixed with a slightly more polar solvent like isopropanol , ethyl acetate or chloroform . Retention increases as the amount of nonpolar solvent in the mobile phase increases. In reversed phase chromatography, the most polar ... or acetonitrile with a small amount of water thus, the mobile phase is both aqueous water is present ... from 100 aqueous to pure organic.
