Laboratory Introduction

Established in 2018, the Physical and Chemical Separation Laboratory provides a platform for advancing knowledge in separation science, conducting innovative research, and training master's and doctoral students. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Solid Phase Extraction (SPE), Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME), Electrophoresis, Electrodeposition, Spin Coating, Spray Pyrolysis, and others. These facilities enable advanced teaching and research in separation techniques.

Research includes liquid-liquid extraction, multi-stage and continuous extraction, ion exchange, precipitation using pH adjustments, complexation, and reagent addition. Other activities include fabricating absorbent fibers for microextraction techniques, gas sensors operable at room temperature, and thin-film preparation for high-efficiency dye-sensitized and quantum dot solar cells.

The lab offers educational, research, and practical services to institutions, government agencies, private sectors, researchers, and scholars.
