  2. Trisodium phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisodium_phosphate

    Trisodium phosphate was at one time extensively used in formulations for a variety of consumer-grade soaps and detergents, and the most common use for trisodium phosphate has been in cleaning agents. The pH of a 1% solution is 12 (i.e., very basic), and the solution is sufficiently alkaline to saponify grease and oils.

  3. Sodium phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_phosphate

    Sodium dihydrogen phosphate Sodium hydrogen phosphate Trisodium phosphate. A sodium phosphate is a generic variety of salts of sodium (Na +) and phosphate (PO 3− 4). Phosphate also forms families or condensed anions including di-, tri-, tetra-, and polyphosphates. Most of these salts are known in both anhydrous (water-free) and hydrated forms ...

  4. Phytoremediation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoremediation

    Phytoremediation technologies use living plants to clean up soil, air and water contaminated with hazardous contaminants. [1] It is defined as "the use of green plants and the associated microorganisms, along with proper soil amendments and agronomic techniques to either contain, remove or render toxic environmental contaminants harmless". [2]

  5. Sodium triphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_triphosphate

    Sodium triphosphate (STP), also sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), or tripolyphosphate (TPP), [1]) is an inorganic compound with formula Na 5 P 3 O 10. It is the sodium salt of the polyphosphate penta-anion, which is the conjugate base of triphosphoric acid. It is produced on a large scale as a component of many domestic and industrial products ...

  6. Phosphate-buffered saline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate-buffered_saline

    Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a buffer solution (pH ~ 7.4) commonly used in biological research. It is a water-based salt solution containing disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride and, in some formulations, potassium chloride and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. The buffer helps to maintain a constant pH.

  7. Sodium trimetaphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_trimetaphosphate

    Sodium trimetaphosphate (also STMP), with formula Na 3 P 3 O 9, is one of the metaphosphates of sodium. It has the formula Na 3 P 3 O 9 but the hexahydrate Na 3 P 3 O 9 ·(H 2 O) 6 is also well known. It is the sodium salt of trimetaphosphoric acid. It is a colourless solid that finds specialised applications in food and construction industries ...

  8. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

    Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its root hairs.To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2 mm. [14] There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought ...

  9. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    The solution (known as A-Z solution) consists of all the essential macro- and micronutrients in the correct proportions necessary for most plant growth. [6] An aerator is used to prevent an anoxic event or hypoxia. Hypoxia can affect the nutrient uptake of a plant because, without oxygen present, respiration becomes inhibited within the root cells.
