Filtration

powder was accomplished through magnetism. When combining the sulfur and iron powder to form a mixture, a magnet can be used to attract the iron separating it from the sulfur. Unlike the iron and powder, the salt and sand were separated through filtration. This is a method which separates solids from liquids. In the experiment, the mixture of salt, sand and water are separated as it is poured through a funnel with filter paper. The water along with the salt pass through the funnel while the sand…

What Causes Kidney Failure Kidneys are the organs that help filter waste products from the blood. They are also involved in regulating blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and red blood cells production in the body. Sysmtoms of kidney failure are due to build-up of waste products in the body that may cause weakness shortness of breath, lethargy,and confusion. Inability to remove potassium from the bloodstream may lead to abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death, initially kidney failure may…

on creatinine freedom. These circuitous estimations have low affectability, since a critical change in creatinine level is just perceptible after a 60% capacity misfortune has happened, while creatinine leeway overestimates the genuine glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by up to 20%. Furthermore, these clinical science estimations can't recognize neighbourhood contrasts in the kidneys and can't recognize left and right kidney. To beat these limits, element differentiation improved MR imaging…

Blood testing focuses on whether anemia (not enough red blood cells) is present, and the filtration ability of the kidneys. The two substances measured in blood to evaluate the kidney’s filtration ability are Creatinine and BUN. An elevated level of either one of these is known as azotemia. Creatinine is a compound that is produced by metabolism and excreted in the urine. BUN measures the…

in BUN-creatinine ratio include kidney stones, kidney disease, or gastrointestinal bleeding. A low ratio can occur in liver disease, pregnancy, or a low protein diet . Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Although a urea and electrolytes blood test is useful, the ultimate test for kidney function is the glomerular filtration rate, which measures the rate at which your blood is filtered by the kidneys to produce urine. GFR slowly falls with age, but if you are healthy, it should not be a problem. A…

time there was only for the summer, which meant I was limited to thirteen weeks to complete my projects. The main project that I worked on while employed there was to install a filtration system for the circulator pumps. There are over sixty pumps throughout the site and they were all failing at different times due to filtration issues. In this report, I will discuss what the project entailed, how I went about completing the project, and what technical knowledge I gained from achieving my goals…

soluble at higher temperatures, but no longer soluble when cooled down. By heating up mixture as acetone was added then cooled down in an ice bath, recrystallization was allowed to occur. After crystals formed the acetone was removed via vacuum filtration. Upon testing the purity of the sample by melting point, the melting point range was found to be 53.5ºC to 55ºC. This melting point range is slightly below the expected 57ºC melting point of pure trimyristin. However, the trimyristin was…

growing threat to water safety. We are observing increasing instances of algal blooms, which pose a significant threat to human and native ecosystem health, reduce aesthetic quality of source water by causing taste and odor issues, and may harm the filtration systems employed in water treatment, thus driving up the costs of water treatment. Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are often accompanied by growth of microorganisms known as cyanobacteria, a photosynthetic prokaryotic species that occur…

People say, “I’m dying from thirst” but they don’t actually know what it feels like to go days without water. People in developing countries are facing this problem today and if we don’t take an action, Canada will start facing this. Our country will start to dry up and we will have to do something to act. Toilet flushing is the main factor of water usage in households. Today, most toilets use fresh water when flushing. This freshwater in these toilets can be used as drinking water. With this…

Procedure: Part A: Extraction stage 1. Place a 125 mL separatory funnel in a ring stand equipped with a small ring. 2. Heat the hot plate. 3. Heat the water (20 mL of hot water is needed) to a boil by placing it on top of the hot plate. 2. To the 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask, added two Tylenol (500 mg/ tablet) 3. Dissolved the solid by gently swirling the Erlenmeyer flask. 4. Let the solution cool for a few minutes (approximately till room temperature). 5. Add the mixture to the separatory funnel.…
