Silica sand used for water filtration has a sub-round to round shape, making it the perfect filtration media to capture solids suspended in water. Due to the high silica content in the sand, it is also very durable and hard-wearing. That allows it to be precisely graded for efficient filtering. The mesh sizes that are most commonly used for water filtration applications include 8×16, 12×20, and 16×30.

The sand filtration process in water treatment applications is straightforward. The sand is typically laid on top of a supporting layer of gravel. As the water enters the filtration, it passes through the silica sand, removing solids and other debris from the water.

Acyclic or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated carbon compounds, excluding aromatic compounds.

Aliphatic compounds can be saturated, joined by single bonds (alkanes), or unsaturated, with double bonds (alkenes) or triple bonds (alkynes). Besides hydrogen, other elements can be bound to the carbon chain, the most common being oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine.

The most important aliphatic compounds are:

n-, iso- and cyclo-alkanes (saturated hydrocarbons)
n-, iso- and cyclo-alkenes and -alkynes (unsaturated hydrocarbons).

An aromatic solvent is a solvent that contains an aromatic hydrocarbon such as naptha, toluene or xylene. Aromatic solvents are primarily used as solvents and diluents in various industrial fields. Aromatic solvents such as toluene are commonly used in paints, varnishes, adhesives and as chemical intermediates.

These solvents are mostly generated through distillation of crude petroleum stock in the oil refining industry. Aromatic solvents are mostly used as thinners and diluents in several end-user products, such as paints, coatings and cleaners. Aromatic solvents are also used as corrosion inhibitors in the oil and gas industry.

 

Hydrogen peroxide was first discovered in the early 19^th century, but the pure chemical was not produced until 1894. Today, this chemical is produced in quantities of more than 2 million tons worldwide each year. 

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound usually produced as a diluted solution. This colorless, slightly viscous chemical has a somewhat sharp odor. Pure hydrogen peroxide poses some extreme health risks, and diluted solutions of 3-30 percent can cause potential hazards as well. As a result, hydrogen peroxide should be handled and stored with care whether at home or in the workplace.
