Some examples are the absorption of acid gases, such as carbon dioxide, for removal from effluent gas streams, avoiding atmospheric pollution; the fractional crystallization processes in which several salts are separated as pure phases from a multicomponent mixture; for the production of fertilizers such as ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, or potassium sulfate; for extractive distillation using salt as the extractive agent; and for precipitation of globular proteins from an aqueous solution by the addition of salts.engTeachingElectrolyteThermodynamicsjournal article
