  2. McCabe–Thiele method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCabe–Thiele_method

    The McCabe–Thiele method is a technique that is commonly employed in the field of chemical engineering to model the separation of two substances by a distillation column. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It uses the fact that the composition at each theoretical tray is completely determined by the mole fraction of one of the two components.

  3. Fractionating column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionating_column

    A fractionating column or fractional column is equipment used in the distillation of liquid mixtures to separate the mixture into its component parts, or fractions, based on their differences in volatility. Fractionating columns are used in small-scale laboratory distillations as well as large-scale industrial distillations.

  4. Runoff curve number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_curve_number

    The curve number method was developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, which was formerly called the Soil Conservation Service or SCS — the number is still popularly known as a "SCS runoff curve number" in the literature.

  5. Solid-phase extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-phase_extraction

    SPE is in fact a method of chromatography, in the sense of having a mobile phase, carrying mixtures through a stationary phase, packed inside a column.The chromatographic process is harnessed to create a solid-liquid extractive technique—allowing separation of a mixture of components by taking advantage of large differences between the solid and liquid phase K eq, or equilibrium constant ...

  6. Soil conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_conservation

    Soil-conservation farming involves no-till farming, "green manures" and other soil-enhancing practices which make it hard for the soils to be equalized. Such farming methods attempt to mimic the biology of barren lands. They can revive damaged soil, minimize erosion, encourage plant growth, eliminate the use of nitrogen fertilizer or fungicide ...

  7. Universal Soil Loss Equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Soil_Loss_Equation

    The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is a widely used mathematical model that describes soil erosion processes. [1]Erosion models play critical roles in soil and water resource conservation and nonpoint source pollution assessments, including: sediment load assessment and inventory, conservation planning and design for sediment control, and for the advancement of scientific understanding.

  8. Column chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Column_chromatography

    The size will depend on the amount of compound being isolated. The base of the tube contains a filter, either a cotton or glass wool plug, or glass frit to hold the solid phase in place. A solvent reservoir may be attached at the top of the column. Two methods are generally used to prepare a column: the dry method and the wet method.

  9. Reversed-phase chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversed-phase_chromatography

    Particle diameter and pore size control: [18] [19] Silica gel can be engineered to have specific pore sizes, enabling precise control over separation based on molecular size. Cost-effectiveness : Silica is the most abundant element on earth, hence its gel is a cost-effective choice for HPLC applications, making it widely adopted in laboratories.
