Leached

Potassium may be leached from soils low in clay.sfnsfn Calcium Calcium is one percent by weight of soils and is generally available but may be low as it is soluble and can be leached.

Hawai’i Pacific University research scientists and students have simulated rainfall on Hawai‘i’s first plastic road in order to analyze the runoff to see if it contains leached microplastics and/or synthetic chemicals.

Of course, in the dithering prior to lighting it up, enough vinyl chloride leached into streams feeding the big river to kill countless fish.

The leached nutrients at times discharge into nearby water bodies leading to contamination of water sources.

Tooth enamel ranks somewhere between steel and titanium in terms of hardness, but its strength comes from the mineral content, especially the calcium, and this is leached out by acids.

Fewer studies have been done on what happens to water when left in reusable water containers in high temperatures, but research done by pouring boiling water into polycarbonate indicated that more BPA leached out as a result.

Johnson’s actions have significantly weakened parliament, but not leached its power altogether.

Some farmers, however, will hope for drier and warmer weather for the roots to go down and find the leached nitrogen, he said.

The beans taste of smoke and brine, leached from green olives, with a touch of velvet from melted cheese.

The corrosive water was not properly treated due to an incorrect reading of federal regulations by state regulators, and lead leached from old plumbing into homes and led to elevated levels of the toxin in children.

A brown, sticky substance formed over the surface and when the lava was drenched in sterilized water a thick, brown liquid leached out.

Acidification occurs when these elements are leached from the soil profile by rainfall or by the harvesting of forest or agricultural crops.

Because of this, vitamins and minerals are not leached (dissolved) away by water, as they would be if food were boiled in large amounts of water.

Disadvantages (from the modern perspective) are that space is used for a whole year, some nutrients might be leached due to exposure to rainfall, and disease-producing organisms and insects may not be adequately controlled.

Freed cations can be made available to plants but are also prone to be leached from the soil, possibly making the soil less fertile.

However, because phosphorus is generally much less soluble than nitrogen, it is leached from the soil at a much slower rate than nitrogen.

In soils, selenium most often occurs in soluble forms such as selenate (analogous to sulfate), which are leached into rivers very easily by runoff.

Iodine is rare in many soils, has low abundance generally as a crust-element, and is leached by rainwater, leading to many deficiency problems in land animals and inland human populations.

Nitrogen may also be leached from the soil if it is in the form of nitrate or lost to the atmosphere as ammonia due to a chemical reaction of ammonium with alkaline soil by way of a process called volatilisation.
