The infinite separation principle
In this paper, we propose “The Infinite Separation Principle”. This principle contains two implications: firstly, even exhausting all separation approaches, including chemical techniques, it is impossible to achieve 100% purity for separating a mixture; secondly, separation can continue infinitely w...

| description | In this paper, we propose “The Infinite Separation Principle”. This principle contains two implications: firstly, even exhausting all separation approaches, including chemical techniques, it is impossible to achieve 100% purity for separating a mixture; secondly, separation can continue infinitely without an endpoint. |
