What is the Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN)? Invented by Danish chemist Johan Kjeldahl in the late 19th century, the TKN method involves the digestion of organic samples with sulfuric acid and a catalyst such as copper sulfate or mercury. During... May 31, 2023
Solubility and Water Being known as the universal solvent, water has a greater dilution capacity than any other known liquid. In other words, water can dissolve the widest variety of substances. As mentioned above, solubi... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
Understand the pH Changes at the Outlet of a Deionization System. Even though pure water has a pH of 7, there are a few things that can affect the pH of water after or during its passage through a deionization system. Carbon dioxide Traces of carbon dioxide in the a... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
Understanding the Impact of pH on Water To understand the impact of pH on water, it is important to understand what the pH is. The acronym pH is a unit of measurement that defines the amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the solutio... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
Viscosity and Water Typically, the viscosity of a fluid depends on the molecular interactions or associations that can form during the movement of the molecules forming the fluid. Therefore, the motion of a fluid is usua... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
Water: The Universal Solvent In fact, it is partly due to this solvent quality that water is so important in our lives, since no matter what path it takes, it will carry nutrients, minerals or chemical substances. This means that... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
Water and its Characteristics: Hypotonic, Hypertonic or Isotonic To begin with, osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure necessary to prevent a dilute solution from moving through a semipermeable membrane to a concentrated solution. For more details, see this artic... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
The Distillation of Water How is distilled water made? The process of making distilled water works by boiling water and recovering its gaseous form. In other words, the water is brought to a boil and the steam is circulated th... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
Influent or Effluent: How to Tell Them Apart Influent This parameter refers to the input water to a water treatment system. In other words, when water needs to be treated before or after use, it is referred to as influent. - For your information... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
Water and Resistivity It is generally accepted that resistivity is the opposite of conductivity. Since the conductivity and resistivity of water are special, we feel it is important to clarify what conductivity is in order... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
Water and Colour Although it is impossible to find water in its pure state naturally, if you take pure water and observe it through a long transparent column, a tinge of blue will appear. This tint of colour comes fro... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
What is the Alkalinity of Water? In other words, alkalinity represents the ability of water to neutralize acids when there are changes in pH in a water sample. The alkalinity of water is determined by the concentration of conjugate b... Water Parameters May 31, 2023
