Removal of Gold from Aqueous E-Wastes

One of interesting things about writing articles for this blog is learning about areas outside of one’s immediate circle of expertise.  This is in part due to the basic problem, namely separations, that fluorous techniques address.  Separating, and sometimes recovering, … Continue reading

Removal of Metals by Fluorous Extraction

Prof. Robert Baker and co-workers have been working on methods for the removal of low levels of metals and radionuclides for wastewater samples through fluorous methods for some time.  We reported on one of those methods which was a fluorous … Continue reading

Thermomorphic Metal Scavenging

Fluorous compounds generally have a steep temperature dependent solubility curve.  This has been exploited by several researchers in the design of catalysts and reagents which are in solution at higher reaction temperatures, but then precipitate out of solution upon cooling.  … Continue reading
