1. Is used to transform a mixture of substances into two or more distinct products.

a. Separation process c. Combustion
b. Adsorption d. Crystallization
2. When the two contracting phases are a gas and a liquid, this operation is called?
a. Absorption c. Adsorption
b. Distillation d. Leaching
3. A volatile vapor phase and a liquid phase that vaporizes are involved.
a. Distillation c. Absorption
b. Adsorption d. Leaching
4. When the two phases are liquid, where a solute is removed from one liquid phase to
another liquid phase, the process is called?
a. Leaching c. Liquid-liquid extraction
b. Membrane processing d. Crystallization
5. If a fluid is being used to extract a solute from a solid, the process is called? This
process is also called extraction
a. Leaching c. Liquid-liquid extraction
b. Membrane processing d. Crystallization
6. Separation of molecules by the use of membranes.
a. Leaching c. Liquid-liquid extraction
b. Membrane processing d. Crystallization
7. Used in the beet sugar industry and is also used for the extraction of tanning extracts
from tanbark, for the extraction of pharmaceuticals from barks and seeds, and in other
processes.
a. Moving-bed leaching c. Agitated solid leaching
b. Fixed-bed leaching d. Fluid separation
8. These are used widely in extracting oil from vegetable seeds such as cotton seeds,
peanuts, and soybeans.
a. Moving-bed leaching c. Agitated solid leaching
b. Fixed-bed leaching d. Fluid separation
9. Continuous countercurrent leaching accomplished by placing a number of agitators in
series, with settling tanks or thickeners between each agitator.
a. Moving-bed leaching c. Agitated solid leaching
b. Fixed-bed leaching d. Fluid separation
10. Is a countercurrent separation process for isolating the constituents of a liquid
mixture.
a. Solid-liquid extraction c. Crystallization
b. Distillation d. Liquid-liquid extraction
11. Solid particles are removed from the slurry by forcing the fluid through a filter
medium, which blocks the passage of the solid particles.
a. Settling c. Sedimentation
b. Filtration d. Distillation
12. Is the process of letting suspended material settle by gravity. Suspended material
may be particles, such as clay or silts.
a. Settling c. Sedimentation
b. Filtration d. Distillation
13. The action of purifying a liquid by a process of heating and cooling.
a. Settling c. Sedimentation
b. Filtration d. Distillation
