Impacts of solid waste on health The group at risk from the unscientific disposal of solid waste include – the population in areas where there is no proper waste disposal method‚ especially the pre-school children; waste workers; and workers in facilities producing toxic and infectious material. Other high-risk group include population living close to a waste dump and those‚ whose water supply has become contaminated either due to waste dumping or leakage from landfill sites.

Gas Chromatography Purpose: The purpose of the gas chromatography lab is to find out how different substances interact with the surface of a solid. Chromatography is a separation technique that depends on the relative distribution of the components of a mixture between a mobile phase and a solid stationary phase. Chromatography measures the tendency of a substance to interact with the surface of a solid or to remain in a mobile phase. When doing a chromatography lab the mobile phase has to

radiation (EMR) is the sun. There are various similarities such as the presence of electric and magnetic field in both EMR and plasma. Both transport contain energy and are ubiquitous in the universe. However‚ there are large differences between EMR and plasma. Differences between EMR and plasma EMR is energy that propagates through a medium in the form of EM waves. It has an electric and magnetic field which oscillate in phase perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation. EMR

Individual solid particles are characterised by their size‚ shape‚ and density. 1.1 Particle shape The shape of an individual particle is expressed in terms of the sphericity F s‚ which is independent of particle size. The sphericity of a particle is the ratio of the surface-volume ratio of a sphere with equal volume as the particle and the surface-volume ratio of the particle. For a spherical particle of diameter D p‚ F s =1; for a non-spherical particle‚ the sphericity is defined as Dp:

water came from outer space to Earth. The water was brought to the planet for the comets. The water has a different structure for each state (gas‚ liquid‚ ice). Liquid water has random molecules. On the other hand‚ the ice has a more stable structure. The different structure between ice and liquid water can explain why the ice has less density than liquid water. Temperature is responsible for increasing the dissolution of components‚ and electrical conductivity. Pure water is not a good conductor

flinnsci.com Liquid Chromatography AP Chemistry Laboratory # 18 Publication No. 10535A Catalog No. AP9093 Introduction In this experiment‚ liquid chromatography is used to separate the substances that are present in grape-flavored Kool-Aid®. First‚ the dyes responsible for the purple color‚ FD&C Blue #1 and Red #40 are separated. Then‚ in a second experiment‚ the other components of Kool-Aid®‚ the flavorings and citric acid‚ are separated as well. Concepts • Resolution • Liquid chromatography

Gas analysis techniques Terms for gas analysis techniques Concentration The term concentration describes the amount of a substance‚ expressed as mass‚ volume‚ or number of particles in a unit volume of a solid‚ liquid‚ or gaseous substance e.g. alcohol in beer or oxygen in air. Different units are in use to describe concentration in gases: Mass concentration Concentration expressed in terms of mass of substance per unit volume [g substance/m3 gas volume] ¢ Volume concentration Concentration

Introduction The task was given to obtain the buckling stresses for pin-ended steel struts of various slenderness ratios and compare with theoretical predictions obtained using the Euler and Rankine-Gordon equations. 2. Theory The method of obtaining the buckling stresses followed was to use data show in Appendix A. From the record of applied load‚ P‚ against deflection‚ δ‚ a Southwell plot of δ against

(as in gas chromatography) through a medium in which the components move at different rates. “Chromatography is done by making of a mixture move past the solids‚ or across the surface of a solid‚ like paper. The mixture is poured onto a solid surface. As the different components of the liquid run down the solid‚ some of them move more slowly than other. A component that moves slowly may spend more time in the solid phase than in liquid. One that moves more quickly may spend more time in liquid form

TITLE Vapour Liquid Equilibrium OBJECTIVE To find the Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) relationship for binary mixture and to plot the equilibrium curve. INTRODUCTION The term equilibrium is referred to as when a system is in a static condition and there is absolutely no changes that occur as time goes by. Vapour-liquid equilibrium is a condition where a liquid and its vapor are in equilibrium with each other‚ a condition or state where the rate of evaporation is equal to the rate of condensation
