Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010007157A1] The invention relates to a method for separating at least one first substance from a mixture containing said at least one first substance and at least one second substance. Said method consists of the following steps: (A) the mixture containing the at least one first substance and at least one second substance is brought into contact with at least one selective hydrophobing agent in the presence of a suspension agent such that an adduct is formed form at least one hydrophobing agent and the at least one first substance, and not from the at least one second substance; (B) the adduct from step (A) is brought into contact with at least one magnetic particle which is functionalised on the surface with at least one polymer compound having a transition temperature LCST (Lower Critical Solution Temperature), at a temperature at which the polymer compound has a hydrophobic character, such that the adduct from step (A) and the at least one functionalised magnetic particle agglomerates; (C) another suspending agent is optionally added to the mixture obtained in step (B); (D) the agglomerate present in the suspension in steps (B) or (C) is separated by applying a magnetic field; (E) the agglomerate separated in step (D) is divided by controlling a temperature at which the polymer compound has a hydrophilic character, in order to obtain at least one first substance.
