Chemical Processes developed by Muslim Chemists

by Meam Wye on July 4, 2009

Many of todays common chemical processes that lay the foundation of chemistry and chemical engineering were developed by muslim chemists about 1000 years back.

Some of these chemical processes, developed from 8th century onwards by Jabir ibn Hayyan(Latinized as Geber), Al-Razi(Latinized as Rhazes), Ibn Sina(Latinized as Avicenna) and others are:

• Pure distillation (al-taqtir)
  
• Filtration (al-tarshih)
  
• Crystallization (al-tabalwur)
  
• liquefaction
  
• purification
  
• oxidisation
  
• evaporation (tabkhir)
  
• Dry distillation
  
• Calcination (al-tashwiya)
  
• Solution (al-tahlil)
  
• sublimation (al-tas'id)
  
• amalgamation (al-talghim)
  
• ceration (al-tashmi)
  
• Assation 
  
• cocotion
  
• ceration
  
• lavage
  
• solution mixture
  
• fixation
  
• Destructive distillation 
  
• Steam distillation 
  
• Water purification
