Testing Water Quality

Testing Water Quality

When the quality of water for concrete preparation is uncertain, its impact on the setting time of cement and compressive strength of mortar is assessed by comparison with de-ionized or distilled water benchmarks. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1602 requires the setting times to be within 90 minutes of the control, British Standard (BS) 3146:1980 allows a 30-minute variance in the initial setting, while British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 1008 specifies initial setting...

Quality of Water

Quality of Water

In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

Area of Science:

Ayurvedic medicine
Materials science
Analytical chemistry

Background:

Metallic Bhasmas are crucial in Ayurvedic formulations.
Rasashastra classics detail parameters for Bhasma quality testing.
Tamra Bhasma (TB) is widely used by Ayurvedic physicians for various ailments.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish quality control parameters for Tamra Bhasma (TB).
To integrate classical Ayurvedic tests with advanced analytical techniques for TB standardization.

Main Methods:

Copper wire was analyzed for copper content.
Preparation of TB involved Shodhana, Marana, and Amrutikarana procedures.
Classical tests (Rekhapurnatwa, Varitaratwa) and advanced analyses (PSD, SEM, ICP-AES) were performed.

Main Results:

Particle size distribution (PSD) analysis showed a volumetric mean diameter of 28.70 μm.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed particle sizes below 2μm.
Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) detected 56.24 wt % copper and 23.06 wt % sulfur, with trace heavy metals.

Conclusions:

The study identified quality control parameters for TB.
These parameters align with classical Bhasma Pariksha standards.
The findings support the standardization of Ayurvedic metallic preparations.
