Particle Size Analysis Applications For Agriculture
In agriculture, particulates used in fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides must be meticulously controlled, otherwise they would not be effective or would be wasted during application. Particles in the fertilizers used in farmed fields must have the precise size for the chemicals to be infused into the soil at the proper rate. Too large […]
Determining Size And Shape Using Particle Size Analysis
Calculating the size, shape, and mass of microscopic particles in a suspension is seemingly a daunting task at best. Particles in the micrometer, or micron, size can move very quickly in an aerosol, for example, and determining their size and shape while they are flitting about in the dispersion would require extremely sensitive instruments. […]
Why Pure Water is Essential In The Laboratory
In any chemical analytical process, there is a need for a solvent or diluent that is both neutral and non-reactive to other chemical elements. Water, in its natural form, can provide for such solvency and dilution. Water has a neutral Ph, and is simple in its molecular form. It is the most common liquid substance […]
The Many Applications Of Ion Analysis
Ion analysis has been developed for the sensitive detection of ions in gasses and liquids, but can also be used for the determination of ion make up of solids. The surface of solids can be analyzed via a probe that ionizes the surface molecules and draws the resulting gasses into an ion detector, such […]
The Statistics That You Did Not Know About Cannabis
Statistics show in 2001 that 83 million Americans (about 37 percent) starting the age of 12 have tried marijuana at least once according to the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA).
