Particle Filter Material Choice for Raman and FTIR Microscopy
The filter material to analyze particulate matter with Raman or FTIR microspectroscopy plays a vital role. Their simple task is to filter liquids to isolate solids onto filters – but as soon as you introduce spectroscopic methods, the requirements on the filter increase drastically. But let’s start at the beginning: Which filters are at our disposal, and how do we select the right one for our needs? Do we have to ask the Mirror on the wall from the Snow White fairy tail? No, of course not! The answers are compiled for you below.
Filter materials for FTIR and Raman
For FTIR analysis, the choice between measuring individual particles (with a low particle count) or the entire filter (with a high particle count) guides our filter selection. Nitrocellulose and Glassfiber filters are good options when
Volker Metzger, Watlow, Germany, discusses the challenges and opportunities of lowering carbon emissions in the oil and gas industry through electrification.
The necessity for electrification in industrial processes has intensified as the world aims to fulfill the objectives set by international agreements on climate change. Many traditional industries, such as oil and gas, still rely on gas burners or steam rather than electric heaters. However, electrification plays a key role in advancing thermal systems within industry and lowering greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
Trends in industrial electrification
The global shift towards decarbonisation, driven by regulatory pressures and sustainability goals, is pushing the oil and gas industry to transition from fossil fuel-based heating systems to electric heating systems. This trend is evident in the implementation of electric heaters in various oil and gas operations, including refineries, petrochemical
Enhancing Semiconductor Performance with Ultra-Pure Seals
The semiconductor industry operates in a highly specialized market, demanding seals that can withstand extreme chemical exposures and temperature variations. These seals play a critical role in preventing contaminants from entering the fluid stream.
Enhancing Semiconductor Performance with Ultra-Pure Seals
The primary consideration for selecting seals in semiconductor applications is their operating characteristics. Depending on whether the seal is static or dynamic, the requirements and materials differ significantly.
Static Seals: Prioritizing Chemical and Thermal Stability
Static seals, which remain stationary without relative motion, benefit greatly from the use of perfluoroelastomers (FFKM rubber). Among these, DuPont™ Kalrez® stands out for its exceptional chemical and thermal stability.
