  2. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

    Total dissolved solids (TDS) is a measure of the dissolved combined content of all inorganic and organic substances present in a liquid in molecular, ionized, or micro-granular (colloidal sol) suspended form. TDS are often measured in parts per million (ppm). TDS in water can be measured using a digital meter.

  3. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylenediaminetetraacetic...

    In coordination chemistry, EDTA 4− is a member of the aminopolycarboxylic acid family of ligands. EDTA 4− usually binds to a metal cation through its two amines and four carboxylates, i.e., it is a hexadentate ("six-toothed") chelating agent. Many of the resulting coordination compounds adopt octahedral geometry.

  4. Electrodialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodialysis

    Wave-powered desalination. Electrodialysis (ED) is used to transport salt ions from one solution through ion-exchange membranes to another solution under the influence of an applied electric potential difference. This is done in a configuration called an electrodialysis cell. The cell consists of a feed (dilute) compartment and a concentrate ...

  5. Safety data sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_data_sheet

    An example SDS, including guidance for handling a hazardous substance and information on its composition and properties. A safety data sheet (SDS), [1] material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products.

  6. Brine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brine

    Brine (or briny water) is water with a high-concentration solution of salt (typically sodium chloride or calcium chloride).In diverse contexts, brine may refer to the salt solutions ranging from about 3.5% (a typical concentration of seawater, on the lower end of that of solutions used for brining foods) up to about 26% (a typical saturated solution, depending on temperature).

  7. Reverse osmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis

    Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate water molecules from other substances. RO applies pressure to overcome osmotic pressure that favors even distributions. RO can remove dissolved or suspended chemical species as well as biological substances (principally bacteria), and is used in ...

  8. Xylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylene

    In organic chemistry, xylene or xylol (from Greek ξύλον (xylon) 'wood'; [1][2] IUPAC name: dimethylbenzene) are any of three organic compounds with the formula (CH3)2C6H4. They are derived from the substitution of two hydrogen atoms with methyl groups in a benzene ring; which hydrogens are substituted determines which of three structural ...

    It is also used as part of silicone -based personal lubricants. D 5 is considered an emollient. In Canada, among the volume used in consumer products approximately 70% were for antiperspirants and 20% for hair care products. [6] 10,000–100,000 tonnes per year of D 5 is manufactured and/or imported in the European Economic Area. [7]
