2. Vertisol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertisol

   Vertisols of the world A more detailed map of the global distribution of Vertisols. A vertisol is a Soil Order in the USDA soil taxonomy [1] and a Reference Soil Group in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB). [2] It is also defined in many other soil classification systems. In the Australian Soil Classification it is called ...

3. Expansive clay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansive_clay

   Expansive clay, also called expansive soil, is a clay soil prone to large volume changes (swelling and shrinking) directly related to changes in water content. [1] Soils with a high content of expansive minerals can form deep cracks in drier seasons or years; such soils are called vertisols.

4. Shrink–swell capacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrink–swell_capacity

   This property is measured using coefficient of linear extensibility (COLE) values. If a soil has a COLE value greater than 0.06, then it can cause structural damage. [2] A COLE value of 0.06 means that 100 inches of soil will expand by 6 inches when wet. [2] Soils with this shrink-swell capacity fall under the soil order of Vertisols. [6]

5. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

   Chemical water analysis is carried out on water used in industrial processes, on waste-water stream, on rivers and stream, on rainfall and on the sea. [1] In all cases the results of the analysis provides information that can be used to make decisions or to provide re-assurance that conditions are as expected.

6. Coagulation (water treatment) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation_(water_treatment)

   Coagulation-flocculation process in a water treatment system. In water treatment, coagulation and flocculation involve the addition of compounds that promote the clumping of fine floc into larger floc so that they can be more easily separated from the water. Coagulation is a chemical process that involves neutralization of charge whereas ...

7. Triton X-100 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triton_X-100

   Triton X--100 (C 14 H 22 O(C 2 H 4 O) n) is a nonionic surfactant that has a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chain (on average it has 9.5 ethylene oxide units) and an aromatic hydrocarbon lipophilic or hydrophobic group.
