A study has made it possible to estimate experimentally the energy required to transfer protons from water to ionic liquids. Researchers have for the first time determined the acidity of ionic liquids ...

I'm messing with improving both my lawn and my pastures. I know that one big thing I can do is fix the acidity of the soil, and that I can have various outfits, for a price, measure the acidity of the ...

Efficient process control and consistent plant operations are the key to success in the petroleum refinery. One of the main issues faced in the refining process is corrosion, due to which the ...

Scientists in Uganda have devised a tool to test for vaginal infections that is so simple, even a child could—and did—make one. In 2000, scientists at the Rakai Health Sciences Program in Kalisizo ...

Modern methods for mass production of biological agents and fine chemicals require precise control of pH. However within these systems it is not always possible to use traditional methods for ...

In the initial years of petroleum refining, the majority of gasoline blending components were composed of straight-run material taken directly from crude oil distillation units. Refineries were ...

MOSCOW, Dec. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The international team of scientists from NUST MISIS, Imperial College London, Kanazawa University (Japan) and Lomonosov Moscow State University has developed a ...

According to University of Iowa researchers Vincent A. Magnotta and colleagues, any neuroscientist with an MRI scanner could soon be able to measure the acidity (pH) of the human brain in great detail ...

Researchers have for the first time determined the acidity of ionic liquids using Raman spectroscopy, thanks to Hammett acidity functions. This advance promises to revolutionise our understanding and ...

The simple method of checking vaginal pH discussed by Willyard 1 in your “Science on a Shoestring” special report is truly innovative. However, it is important to consider how safe it is to insert ...
