Washoe Process The Washoe process, a variation of pan amalgamation, was developed in the 1860s by Almarin B. Paul and others, to work the ore from the…
Pan Amalgamation In science, an amalgamation is defined as a mixture of metal and mercury. The pan amalgamation process is a method to extract silver from ore,…
Silver Mining Silver mining is the resource extraction of silver by mining. It is a mine where silver ore is dug. Most of the world’s silver production…
Patio Process The patio process is a process for extracting silver from ore. It is processed for separating silver from the ore by amalgamating it with mercury…
Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) The lower critical temperature varies greatly, depending on the `normal’ temperature regime to which the organism is adapted. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) or…
Heat of Dilution The heat of dilution refers to the enthalpy change associated with the dilution process of a component in a solution at a constant pressure. It…
Dilution Dilution is the action of making a liquid more dilute. It is the process of decreasing the concentration of a solute in a solution, usually simply…
Amalgam Amalgam is an alloy of mercury with another metal. It may be a liquid, a soft paste, or a solid, depending upon the proportion of…
Upper Critical Solution Temperature Critical solution temperature is the temperature at which complete miscibility is reached as the temperature is raised or in some cases lowered —used of two…
Entropy of Mixing When two pure substances mix under normal conditions there is usually an increase in the entropy of the system. In thermodynamics, the entropy of mixing…
Activity Coefficient in Thermodynamics An activity coefficient is a factor used in thermodynamics to account for deviations from ideal behavior in a mixture of chemical substances. The set of…
