Particle separation using membrane

Deformable gel was packed on the membrane pore to control the filtration performance of colloidal particle. In hydrodynamic pressure and shear stress, the gel is deformed to control the appropriate filtration performance.

Colloidal particle separation by hydrodynamic chromatography

In flowing fluid through the coiled tube, the fluid velocity is changed. The colloidal particle solution is injected to the tube, by the fluid the colloidal particles are possibly separated. This is applicable for the ceramic particle, soil, and polymers.
