Colloidal Materials in Natural Water

Our Abilities

Alfa Chemistry is committed to optimizing the coupling of multiple technologies to systematically characterize the properties of hydrocolloids. To achieve this, we were able to utilize UV-Vis spectrophotometers, TOC analyzers, fluorescence spectrometers (FS), flow field-flow fractionation (FlFFF) systems, atomic force microscopy (AFM), FI-IR, NMR, Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy (XRD) were used to determine the content and relationship between organic and inorganic colloids. analysis of properties.^[1]
