  2. Electroplating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroplating

    The Norddeutsche Affinerie in Hamburg was the first modern electroplating plant starting its production in 1876. [23] As the science of electrochemistry grew, its relationship to electroplating became understood and other types of non-decorative metal electroplating were developed.

  3. Soil formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_formation

    Soil formation, also known as pedogenesis, is the process of soil genesis as regulated by the effects of place, environment, and history. Biogeochemical processes act to both create and destroy order within soils.

    E.C Electroplating was an electroplating company with a chemical plant located on 125 Clark Street in Garfield, spanning approximately 3/4 of an acre. [5] The company was a family owned business that operated since the late 1930s until 2009.

  5. Soil chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_chemistry

    Soil chemistry is the study of the chemical characteristics of soil.Soil chemistry is affected by mineral composition, organic matter and environmental factors. In the early 1870s a consulting chemist to the Royal Agricultural Society in England, named J. Thomas Way, performed many experiments on how soils exchange ions, and is considered the father of soil chemistry. [1]

  6. Soil functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_functions

    An example of soil as a source of raw material can be found in ancient ceramic production. The Maya ceramics showed traits inherited from soils and sediments used as raw material. [8] The understanding of soil formation process can help define certain type of soil and reflect the composition of soil minerals. However, the natural area of ...

  7. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

    Soil temperature depends on the ratio of the energy absorbed to that lost. [68] Soil has a mean annual temperature from -10 to 26 °C according to biomes. [69] Soil temperature regulates seed germination, [70] breaking of seed dormancy, [71] [72] plant and root growth [73] and the availability of nutrients. [74]

  8. Copper electroplating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_electroplating

    Excluding the continuous strip plating industry, copper is the second most commonly-plated metal after nickel. [6] Copper electroplating offers a number of advantages over other plating processes, including low metal cost, high-conductivity and high-ductility bright finish, and high plating efficiency.

  9. Edaphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edaphology

    In terms of soil chemistry, it places particular emphasis on plant nutrients of importance to farming and horticulture, especially with regard to soil fertility and fertilizer components. Physical edaphology is strongly associated with crop irrigation and drainage. Soil husbandry is a strong tradition within agricultural soil science.
