    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_chemistry

    Specific microwave effects are those effects that cannot be (easily) emulated through conventional heating methods. Examples include: (i) selective heating of specific reaction components, (ii) rapid heating rates and temperature gradients, (iii) the elimination of wall effects, and (iv) the superheating of solvents.

  7. Microwave digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_digestion

    Microwave digestion is a chemical technique used to decompose sample material into a solution suitable for quantitative elemental analysis. [1] It is commonly used to prepare samples for analysis using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) , atomic absorption spectroscopy , and atomic emission spectroscopy (including ICP-AES ).

    Rain falling over a drainage basin in Scotland.Understanding the cycling of water into, through, and out of catchments is a key element of hydrology. Hydrology (from Ancient Greek ὕδωρ (húdōr) 'water' and -λογία () 'study of') is the scientific study of the movement, distribution, and management of water on Earth and other planets, including the water cycle, water resources, and ...

  9. Steam and water analysis system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Steam_and_water_analysis_system

    Steam and water analysis system (SWAS) [1] is a system dedicated to the analysis of steam or water. In power stations , it is usually used to analyze boiler steam and water to ensure the water used to generate electricity is clean from impurities which can cause corrosion to any metallic surface, such as in boiler and turbine .
