  2. Total suspended solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_suspended_solids

    Total suspended solids (TSS) is the dry-weight of suspended particles, that are not dissolved, in a sample of water that can be trapped by a filter that is analyzed using a filtration apparatus known as sintered glass crucible. TSS is a water quality parameter used to assess the quality of a specimen of any type of water or water body, ocean ...

  3. Evaporating dish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporating_dish

    An evaporating dish is a piece of laboratory glassware used for the evaporation of solutions and supernatant liquids, [a] and sometimes to their melting point.Evaporating dishes are used to evaporate excess solvents – most commonly water – to produce a concentrated solution or a solid precipitate of the dissolved substance.

  4. Wet chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_chemistry

    Gasoline, Bunsen burners, and crucibles may also be used to evaporate and isolate substances in their dry forms. [4] [5] Wet chemistry is not performed with any advanced instruments since most automatically scan substances. [6] Although, simple instruments such as scales are used to measure the weight of a substance before and after a change ...

  5. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    Evaporation is an essential part of the water cycle. The sun (solar energy) drives evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, moisture in the soil, and other sources of water. In hydrology, evaporation and transpiration (which involves evaporation within plant stomata) are collectively termed evapotranspiration. Evaporation of water occurs when ...

  6. Circulation evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulation_evaporator

    Evaporation generally deals with evaporation of water from a mixture or solution, containing another liquid or fine solids. This concentrated stream is in most cases the product and as such the only waste stream is pure water, which poses no risk to the environment and may be disposed into the stormwater/ sewage system.

  7. Crucible - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucible

    A modern crucible used in the production of silicon ingots via the Czochralski process Smaller clay graphite crucibles for copper alloy melting. A crucible is a container in which metals or other substances may be melted or subjected to very high temperatures.

  8. Gooch crucible - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gooch_crucible

    A Gooch crucible, named after Frank Austin Gooch, [1] is a filtration device for laboratory use (and was also called a Gooch filter [2]). It is convenient for collecting a precipitate directly within the vessel in which it is to be dried, possibly ashed , and finally weighed in gravimetric analysis .

  9. API oil–water separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_oilwater_separator

    The design is based on the specific gravity difference between the oil and the wastewater because that difference is much smaller than the specific gravity difference between the suspended solids and water. The suspended solids settles to the bottom of the separator as a sediment layer, the oil rises to top of the separator and the cleansed ...
