Why particle characterisation is important in the environmental sector
Particle characterisation techniques commonly used in environmental sciences include laser diffraction for particle size analysis, flow imaging microscopy for soil sciences and pollen viability, surface area analysis analyse soil and dynamic light scattering for measuring particle size distribution in various samples such as soil, water, and air pollutants.
Laser diffraction particle size analysis in soils
Laser diffraction particle size analysis in soils accurately measures particle size distribution, providing essential data for soil classification, engineering evaluations, and environmental assessments in various soil-related applications.
Flow Imaging Microscopy
Flow imaging microscopy can be used to assess pollen morphology, size, and integrity, enabling precise determination of pollen viability and fertility, vital for agricultural breeding and plant reproduction studies.
Using zeta potential in soil analysis
Zeta potential analysis in soils assesses the surface charge of soil particles, informing on soil aggregation, nutrient adsorption, and soil-water interactions crucial for soil fertility and management strategies.
Surface area measurements to support environmental studies
Surface area measurements quantify the available surface area of particles, aiding in understanding adsorption phenomena, pollutant interactions, and remediation strategies in various matrices.
