  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. Gibbs free energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_free_energy

    t. e. In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy (or Gibbs energy as the recommended name; symbol ) is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to calculate the maximum amount of work, other than pressure-volume work, that may be performed by a thermodynamically closed system at constant temperature and pressure.

  4. Electrodialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodialysis

    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 ( brine) compartment formed ...

  5. Phenol formaldehyde resin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol_formaldehyde_resin

    Formation and structure. Phenol-formaldehyde resins, as a group, are formed by a step-growth polymerization reaction that can be either acid- or base-catalysed.Since formaldehyde exists predominantly in solution as a dynamic equilibrium of methylene glycol oligomers, the concentration of the reactive form of formaldehyde depends on temperature and pH.

  6. Salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinity

    Salinity ( / səˈlɪnɪti /) is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water (see also soil salinity ). It is usually measured in g/L or g/kg (grams of salt per liter/kilogram of water; the latter is dimensionless and equal to ‰). Salinity is an important factor in determining many aspects of the ...

  7. Hard water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water

    In domestic settings, hard water is often indicated by a lack of foam formation when soap is agitated in water, and by the formation of limescale in kettles and water heaters. [2] Wherever water hardness is a concern, water softening is commonly used to reduce hard water's adverse effects.

  8. Dimethylaniline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethylaniline

    Dimethylaniline. Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). ?) N,N-Dimethylaniline ( DMA) is an organic chemical compound, a substituted derivative of aniline. It is a tertiary amine, featuring a dimethylamino group attached to a phenyl group.

  9. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    A chemical bond is the association of atoms or ions to form molecules, crystals, and other structures. The bond may result from the electrostatic force between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds, or some combination of these effects.
