Pls answer honestly

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

for a salt washing process on a batch of 2m3, how to separate clay from salt?

The main contaminant is crude oil.

At lab scale I realized was easy to clean the soil separating salt and clay (easy to do with a centrifuge)

But now, to scale up the process, I don’t know how to do it in a cost effective and fast way

(the batch is performed on a place without electricity, all the devices only work with fuel)

Answer 2

We can separate the mixture of common salt and chalk powder by putting the mixture in water. As we know that common salt is a homogenous mixture, so it will dissolve with the water and chalk powder is heterogenous so it could be separated by the filter paper.
