Chemical transport reaction
A chemical transport reaction is a type of chemical process. It is used to purify chemicals and grow crystals. Chemical transport reactions work by converting the chemicals into a gas with a chemical reaction, and then undoing that reaction somewhere else to leave behind the original compound.[1]
Examples
- The Mond process for purifying nickel
- The Van Arkel–de Boer process, used in the past to purify titanium
- Germanium can be purified by transport with iodine[2]
