Separation in Microgravity

At Zaiput in 2017 I participated in a project, in collaboration with Space Tango, to conduct an experiment aboard the international space station. The project focused on membrane technology employed by Zaiput in their separators. These separators use a technique that does not rely on gravity, such as traditional methods of separation-by-density, and can therefore be used in low or zero gravity environments. A device such as this could be used in these environments to perform chemistry and produce pharmaceuticals.
