The IGAsorp from Hiden Isochema is a well- established gravimetric vapor sorption analyzer, widely used in both R&D and QC environments within pharma and other sectors.
This article discusses a new process for eliminating organic pollutants in industrial wastewater.
Zeta potential is the energy required to shear the particle as well as its internal layer of counter-ions away from the external layer/bulk medium. It is measured in millivolts.
Mullite is the mineralogical name for the only chemically stable intermediate phase in the SiO2–Al2O3 system.
Nickel/chromium alloys have excellent oxidation resistance, wear-resistance and high-temperature properties. Typical applications include heating elements and thermocouples.
Iron (Fe) is a metal that has been known since ancient times. In fact, the Earth’s crust is made up of 5% of iron, which is the second most abundant metal after aluminum.
Black was the first person to recognize magnesium (Mg) as an element in 1755. Later, in 1808, Davy isolated this element by evaporating mercury from a magnesium amalgam.
Tin (Sn) is mostly found in cassiterite (SnO2) and has been known since ancient times. It is obtained by reducing the ore with coal in a reverberatory furnace.
Although lead occurs as such in nature, it is rare. Lead is chiefly obtained from galena (PbS) through the process of roasting.
