Avoiding an ADHD Misdiagnosis The essential components of an effective ADHD evaluation

Avoiding an ADHD Misdiagnosis The essential components of an effective ADHD evaluation Rates of ADHD diagnoses in the US continue to rise steadily, with a newly published study showing that 10% of todays children and teens are diagnosed with ADHD compared to 6% back in the late 1990s.1 There are many possible reasons for the sharp increase in diagnoses, including increased awareness about ADHD (especially the inattentive subtype), improved health care access, and more rigid education and testing standards in public schools. These factors all contribute to higher rates of proper diagnoses for kids with ADHD who would have otherwise been missed, and thats a good thing. Unfortunately, these same factors can also contribute to higher rates of misdiagnoses among kids and teens who are falling behind academically or are struggling to pay attention and follow classroom rules for reasons that are unrelated to ADHD. With more and more children and teens being diagnosed with ADHD, its more important than ever for parents to insist that their child receive a rigorous diagnostic assessment. A thorough assessment is the only way to minimize the risk of a misdiagnosis and ensure that ADHD is the most appropriate explanation for a child or teens symptoms and behavior. Often, ADHD diagnoses are made in the pediatricians office after a single visit. If these office visits are too brief and rating scales completed by parents and teachers arent included in the assessment process, then the likelihood of a misdiagnosis goes up dramatically. Some pediatricians have a practice that can support the demands of an ADHD diagnostic assessment and have a great deal of experience in this area, but often the most thorough evaluations are conducted by a mental health specialty provider or a developmental pediatrician. When evaluating whether the assessment your child or teen is receiving is as rigorous as it needs to be, look for the following components: Detailed Interview with Parents The foundation of a solid ADHD evaluation is a detailed parent interview that assesses the childs medical history, and social history, as well as his or her history of symptoms of ADHD and other conditions like anxiety and depression. Overall, the goal of this interview is to establish a timeline for the development of ADHD symptoms and behaviors as well as other disorders or situational factors that may also explain a childs symptoms. At a minimum this interview should take 30-60 minutes. Detailed Interview with the Child or Adolescent Older children and adolescents should also be interviewed. Children and teens with ADHD may not have much insight into their ADHD symptoms, but they often have an awareness of anxiety or depression symptoms that may not be as obvious to parents or others around them. Symptom Rating Scales Completed by Parents and Children or Teens In addition to diagnostic interviews, rating scales completed by parents and the child (ages 8 and older) or adolescent themselves are a key component of a thorough diagnostic assessment. Rating scales should include questions related to ADHD symptoms as well as symptoms of other disorders. These measures often include normative scales which allow the provider to compare ratings for the child or teen undergoing the evaluation against a large database of scores to see how the child or teen compares to peers of a similar age and gender. This can help determine whether a childs behavior and symptoms are typical of someone their age or if they have relative weaknesses in certain areas. Symptom Rating Scales Completed by Teachers In order to meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD, children and teens must experience impairment at school as well as at home, making teacher reports an essential component of an ADHD assessment. Like the rating scales completed by parents, these measures should include questions about symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as ADHD and should include normative scales that allow for comparisons with same age peers. A measure of academic performance and skills should also be included to help determine whether a learning disorder evaluation is also needed. Ratings should be completed by teachers who have had the child in the classroom for at least 1 month at the time of the evaluation. If a child or teen has multiple teachers, then ideally each teacher should provide ratings, so the evaluator can determine whether a childs symptoms present differently across classroom subjects and settings. Report Cards Past and current year report cards can be extremely helpful in an ADHD evaluation. Report cards include valuable information about a childs behavior and focus in the classroom over time and can be used to identify the need for a learning disorder evaluation. Learning Disorder Evaluation in Kids and Teens with Learning Concerns In some cases, learning disorder symptoms can look a lot like symptoms of ADHD. When kids and teens struggle to learn new concepts despite having average or above average intelligence, they may have difficulty focusing in class or may act-out behaviorally. If report cards and teacher ratings suggest a history of poor performance in some subject areas but not others (for example, a child or teen receives below average grades in math but receives average or above average grades in other subjects), then a learning disorder evaluation should be completed by the school or by an educational specialist or psychologist. The process of diagnosing ADHD is complex and participating in the evaluation process can take a great deal of time and effort but the effort is worth it in the long run when you receive an accurate diagnosis that can be used to identify the best treatments for your child or teen. 1 Xu G, Strathearn L, Liu B, Yang B, Bao W.

21 Righteous Reasons You Should Start Learning Languages with Video

21 Righteous Reasons You Should Start Learning Languages with Video 21 Righteous Reasons You Should Start Learning Languages with Video How many videos have you watched so far today?Video is a huge part of our everyday lives now.Its extremely personal. We often feel like our favorite video games, movies and shows are pieces of our identities.Its also as diverse as the human experience  itself, including everything from comedy sketches and drama series to news broadcasts, live interviews, commercials and YouTube clips.So, of all the countless ways to learn a language, using video is the one dearest to our hearts.Its not that there arent other enjoyable and effective ways to learn a language, or that video is the one single best way to learn, but for most of us, its the most practical.When you get down to it, for those of us living in the real world with all its real demands on our time and attention, effectively using video content is the strategy thats most likely to propel us  from linguistically aspirational to confidently multilingual.Its flexible, accessible, multipurpose, multisensory and scientifically proven t o be one of the most effective approaches to learning a language.So whats all the fuss about?We could go on forever, but today well cap it at 21 reasons you need more video content in your language learning life. 21 Righteous Reasons You Should Start Learning Languages with Video1. 21st century language learning has gone digital.In this day and age, weve got more options than worksheets and sentence diagrams.Digital technology offers us an ever-expanding list of language hacks, but  video is unique in  that, when used right, it can offer most of the same benefits as  real language use.The language classrooms of yesteryear were stocked with endless books and worksheets about  a language, but had little trace of the language itself. Now you can get pretty authentic exposure to native speakers wielding their language by watching the same video  content that they watch at home.In 1986, hunting down some good tapes of TV shows or movies in a foreign language wouldve been an ordeal, but today video content featuring live native speakers  couldnt be further from scarce.2. Videos are like talking, only not.Social situations can induce a lot of anxiety, especially for beginners and early-stage learners.Sometimes the stress of a real social situation can be counterproductive. Instead of focusing on the conversation and the language use, youre internally screaming at yourself not to say something stupid.Conversation is important, but watching videos is a safer way of building up to more conversation. Watching people use the language should help you get used to its sound, rhythm and the way people gesture or the expressions they make when they use it. Youll get a great idea of what a more or less normal conversation looks and sounds like.One way to dip your feet in before taking the plunge into real-life conversation is to sign up for a course like FluentU, which uses everyday video content featuring  native speakers of the language youre learning. All the videos there are ones that natives are watching at home on TV and on their laptops.Youll be amazed at what just a bit of exposure to native speech from the safety of your computer screen can do to minimize the anxiety  of the real thing!3. You focus on the speaker instead of formulating a response.Its hard to be a good listener in any language when youre always  busy  thinking up your responses to the sentences someone hasnt even finished saying.But the truth is, to learn any language well, listening is key.To learn and progress in your language, youll need to take the time to attentively listen to native speakers and observe how they use their language. Watching your target language video material gives you the luxury of devoting 100% of your attention to listeningâ€"you can even pause to ponder those rules and phrases you almost understood the first time around but needed a second to think about.4. Language is more than just the words coming out of your mouth.The vowel and consonant sounds wer e stringing together in everyday speech are only part of the story of communication. Peoples expressions, hand gestures and interactions with their environment (like gesturing towards an object while talking about it) all contribute to the whole picture of communicating in any language.Audio recordings and chats on the phone  are good language learning tools, but movies and Skype calls are better.Thats because looking at all the parts of language and communication as a whole help you not only to better understand  the meaning of what you hear, but also to better retain your understanding of what youve learned longer and use it more intuitively.5. Learning a language is learning a skill, not memorizing facts.We tend to think of our advances  in learning a language as being like a progress bar that we can eventually fill up, but its not quite that black-and-white. You can memorize all your times-tables or the periodic table of elements, but languages arent facts that you can rememberâ €"in fact, memorization can even get in the way of real learning.Instead, languages are  more like skills that you need to develop and practice.If you wanted to learn to ride a bike, would you start by memorizing the names of all its parts? Nopeâ€"the adventurous among us might just hop on and give it a try, but the handiest thing short of jumping in the deep end would be first watching a few  videos  of what this cycling thing looks like in action.Language is similar. Learning about its rules and origins is  important, but  a few clips from a sitcom or nightly news report make for better linguistic training wheels than verb conjugation charts and sentence diagrams.6. Watching videos helps prompt your brain to imitate the learning styles of children.Being exposed to enough real-life language use can signal to your brain that its time for a change.With the right resourcesâ€"like lots of video and audio contentâ€"you can help promote the kind of brain plasticity thats required to real ly learn a language like your younger self.Immersing your brain in the sounds of a new language can help your brain reset itself to a more childlike state, giving a boost to your ability to hear and recognize unfamiliar speech sounds from other languages.By consistently exposing yourself to native language use with  video, you can gradually teach your brain to recognize the new sounds of the language youre learning,  eventually increasing your ability not only to hear and understand but also to use the new sounds and words youre learning.7. Learning a language with video can help you to process that language like a native speaker.One of the more uplifting discoveries of recent neuro-linguistic science is that, contrary to previously long-held beliefs, you can actually learn a language to advanced  proficiency even later life.Under the best circumstances, some learners even achieve native-like brain processing of their second language!Common wisdom holds that immersion gives you the best chance of achieving near-native linguistic glory, but if you cant move abroad tomorrow, dont despair: try creating an immersion environment at home with video!8. Spanish telenovelas, French films  and the rest of the worlds cultural offerings are  too good to miss.Its impossible to separate any language from the cultural heritage that transmits that language to us.One of the biggest components of contemporary culture in most parts of the world today is the TV and movies people consume. Watching the same programs that  native speakers of your target language are watching in their everyday lives not only allows you to observe the language as its used every day, but it also lets you expose yourself to learning about cultural norms and values that influence how people use language every day.When youre practicing your Spanish with  telenovelas and an actress reacts with an ¡hay dios! and open-mouthed outrage, you can assume the name her co-star just called her was one youd better n ot use in polite company.When you catch this years futuristic sci-fi blockbuster, you might be getting a view of that cultures hopes for and anxieties about the future, as well as how people  talk about them.9. Video teaches you to talk like natives do every day.As they say, the camera doesnt lie.TV and movie scripts are generally written to sound like real-life people talking in real-life scenarios, so you can bet that whats on prime time is likely a reflection of the times.If somebody studied an English textbook from the 1970s and took their social cues from there, theyd probably make for an awkward conversation partner in 2016. But tuning  into a couple episodes of NCIS or Parks and Recreation, on the other hand, would give a learner a pretty up-to-date sampling of the way native speakers are talking outside of foreign language classrooms.10. Native speakers talk fast.If youve never actually interacted with native speakers of your target language before, youre in for an unpleasan t surprise: they talk way faster and less articulately than the carefully-pronounced sentences youve been transcribing in your language learning app.Adjusting to the speed of actual native speech can be a discouraging shock if youre not ready for it. Watching videos (especially with target language subtitles) is a good way to start making the mental connections between the neatly-typed words youve written out on your vocabulary list and the way they actually sound when spoken in the middle of a natural native sentence.You can pause, rewind and fast forward, and a video clip is usually willing to repeat itself for you as many times as you need!11. And they use a lot of slang.Its not just speed and clarity that can pose challenges, but also the very words and expressions native speakers of any language use in their daily lives. But truthfully, learning slang has to be one of the most exciting parts of learning a new language.The words people are really using on the street vary between regions and generations in any language, but one thing is sure: most of them dont make it into standard instruction mediums meant for foreigners.Accessing authentic video content in your target languageâ€"anything from teen sensations YouTube channels to everybodys favorite weeknight sitcomâ€"is a good way to get exposure to these different slang words and regional vocabularies.You not only get to hear these new words in context, but you can also get a feel for whats appropriate for whom and in what context before trying it out in sensitive social situations.12. Videos are easier to incorporate into your routine than grammar books.One reason people end up not following through on learning languages is because its annoying. Trying to squeeze flashcards or lessons into your daily grind can be an enormous hurdle, because theres really no natural space for these things in your day.With video, on the other hand, making time for language practice is a breeze: most of us consume plenty of video content already every day between our newsfeeds, idle YouTubing on the way home from work or school, and letting our guts out on the couch to relax at the end of the day.These are all perfect places to slip in some autopilot language learning, by swapping your cute cat  videos  for videos of cute cats with German people exclaiming over their cuteness in German from behind the camera.13. Writing off movie night as language practice is the absolute best.When you do succeed in making language study time synonymous with chill time, youll know true happiness.Thats why were thrilled to tell you that learning a language by watching  movies is definitely a thing, and a thing you should be incorporating into your learning routine.Following extensive storylines and complex discourses is like a gym session for the language learning centers in your brain, and the detailed problem-solving youll naturally apply to gaining an understanding of the plot is about as applied as applied language learning gets.The increasingly detailed context and visual cues in the movies environment are great for learning new vocabulary in context, and its a way better way to pass your evening than worksheets and grammar drills.14. You can learn languages with video games.If watching movies is a solid gym session, then playing video games for language learning is like a triathlon.Video games almost seem like they must have been made for language learning, with their unique audiovisual immersion that makes you participate in a world and solve problems in it. Theres a reason why there are so many educational games for children out there.The cognitive cartwheels you have to turn to play a video game in another language are similar to those you turn  formulating conversational speech, and the in-context learning environment promotes maximum understanding and  retention.15. Because Netflix.Netflix is the media industrys gift to language learners everywhere.Not only can you find shows and movie s in a ton of different languages there, but most of the content is also genuinely engaging and interesting. This means that, once you find the right shows, youll eventually be like every other Netflixing couch potato, only your binges will be in another language.Plus, theres just something deeply gratifying about writing off a six-hour binge as language practice, like a giant nana-nana-boo-boo to the parents who scolded you for wasting your life away in front of the boob tube.16. Getting inappropriately emotionally invested in a show and its characters is actually good for your language learning.Your desperate need for Ross and Rachel to end up together might seem silly, but its actually a way to tap into next-level language learning.Try hard to find good shows with good characters, because theyre actually really good for you.The parasocial relationships we have with fictional charactersâ€"we consciously know that theyre made-up, but they still look and act like real humans, and we often feel as if theyre speaking to  us  personallyâ€"are crucial for childrens acquisition of language, but adults can also benefit from a little make-believe.Our parasocial TV interactions stimulate the parts of our brain that promote empathy and social learning, which allows us to better and more organically learn the language from the characters were watching.Taking sincere interest with something unfolding in a foreign language helps you think about the content, whats actually going on, rather than fixating on the language. You start to follow storylines and characters, not words, just like in the shows you love in your mother tongue. Thats the definition of immersion.17. It gives you something to talk to the locals about when traveling.Not only does watching all your new favorite shows contribute to your understanding and retention of the language, it also gives you great conversation fodder.For those traveling abroad or Skyping from overseas, have you seen the latest episode ? is a great way to start a conversation thats genuinely interesting to you both.Even better, youll usually be able to learn and use all kinds of new vocabulary quickly when it comes to discussing your shows, since your obsessive understanding of the shows plot gives you a great context for learning new words and phrases used by the native speakers you discuss it with.18. We cant always jump on a plane today, but video can always bring languages to us.The fact that you cant drop everything and move overseas is a totally surmountable obstacle.Video content can fill the void in those times when native speakers and frequent conversation just arent reasonable options.Being able to hop on a platform like FluentU or stream news in your target language in the background helps keep your brain as immersed in the language as possible, while still living in your hometown.19. Streaming news in a foreign language is the best way to stay informed.Speaking of watching the news, its another seamles s way to tie a language into your day and to connect studying language with studying contemporary culture.The days headlines seem tedious sometimes, but watching and listening to them tells you whats actually happening  on the ground where your language is spoken, which can have an impact on the way people use language and certain words every day.As a bonus, this will help you learn things like names of countries and geographic features in context, adding  even more to your repertoire of conversation options for the next time you bump into a native speaker.20. The best polyglots have their own YouTube channels.Aside from the ton of language-specific YouTube channels out there providing content for your language learning, the coolest polyglots on the web are also curating YouTube channels with lots of video content to help you learn your target language.Follow your favorite blogs and vlogs to get personalized tips and recommendations for more video content in your target language.21. The web is full of video content in every foreign language you can imagine.In a time when 500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube alone every day, the Internet is exploding with digital video content.As the Internet continues to penetrate more corners of the world and other languages assert their presence online, language learners are only going to have more and more options for video content in the foreign languages theyre studying.We tend to think learning a language with video is the best way to go.Sprinkle in summers abroad and private tutors here and there if you can and want to, and experiment with other ways to learn a language to your hearts content.But remember that, at the end of the day, if you wanna get the most bang for your buck in terms of maximizing cognitive benefits and learning a language in a natural, fun way, video is the way to go!

Making a drama out of a confidence crisis

Making a drama out of a confidence crisis Drama class can be a real 'love-it-or-hate-it' experience for students. They tend to either thrive on the attention and relish performance, or else are struck dumb with fear at the thought of performing in front of their peers. For many it is also hard to see the academic value in a subject which, throughout history, has been seen as frivolous entertainment. The academic value lies in its relationship to literature. The best example is Shakespeare, a man whose work is covered in every English course in the country. However, Shakespeare's work was not written to be read, but to be performed. The opportunity to explore a playwright's work in its original context is a massive aid in the understanding and study of the text. Then there are the personal skills it can help develop. While drama class can be a traumatic experience for some, it can also help build confidence and presentation skills, both key attributes for succeeding in the workplace. For those who really struggle performing in groups, but could do with developing confidence, a private tutor specialising in speech and drama may be the perfect compromise. Smaller classes and more structured tuition can encourage even the quietest wallflower, while developing a wider knowledge of theatre and poetry. The opposing view is that drama classes can encourage those who are naturally inclined to exhibitionism, but is of little use in helping develop those skills for those who find it difficult.

3 Warning Signs of Senioritis - by TutorNerds Identifying Senioritis Many high school seniors will be tempted to slack off their last semester of senior year. This is an age old phenomenon; however, it is something that should be avoided if at all possible because the consequences can be devastating for some students. Others may not experience severe repercussions, but losing an entire semester of education is a simple waste of time and does not help seniors stay on track for college. 1. Stress and burnout Burnout is the number one cause of senioritis for college prep students these days. Unfortunately, students finish their college applications only to find that theres so much more left to do. These days high school seniors will have to cope with one, if not two, advanced placement exams in May, they will consider visiting the schools they were accepted to, and they will have to either search for scholarships or keep their grades as high as possible to remain eligible for one they have already received (READ: AP Test Without the Class?). Students will also start the long and arduous process of dealing with financial aid at this point in the year. Its important for parents and friends to look out for each other and begin to recognize when a student has reached their stress limit. 2. Mixed feelings about leaving school For the most part, seniors are just incredibly excited to be done with school, right up until its actually time to leave. Theres a sudden realization that everything is going to change, and this can be very scary (READ: Flash Card and Note-Taking Apps to Prevent Senioritis). Students realize that, although they will have independence, they will also miss the safety and security of home. Home-cooked meals and weekends spent with longtime friends are, for now, over. Seniors in high school will go from being the top of the class back to the bottom once they become freshman in college. Its the first big change that a young adult will have in their life and this can be both exciting and anxiety producing, which can lead to a sense of zoning out during the last semester of senior year in order to avoid thinking about these problems. 3. Boredom At this point in the year high school students are simply board.   Once college acceptance letters come in, or even once they have been sent out, students are done with school. They have been taking AP classes, the SAT, ACT, community service hours, and extracurricular activities for the past 3 1/2 years. They want to be done and figure as long as they ‘slide by’ that everything will work out okay. Unfortunately, for some students this is simply not the case. For example, a student may currently have a 4.0 and have been accepted to the University of First Choice but may not have read the fine print. Many colleges, almost every college, offers ‘conditional acceptance’. This means that a student must maintain a minimum GPA in order to be accepted. Its important for students to find out what those minimum requirements are before they mentally check out in the second semester of senior year. Some colleges will simply require that every student receives a passing grade while others will insist that students maintain their current GPA or very close to it (READ: College Application Decisions: Food For Thought). That means, if a student was getting a 4.0 all through high school, they need to continue to get all As for the remainder of their senior year. The importance of maintaining a high GPA Maintaining a high GPA is especially important to potential scholarship students. Students who have been offered a scholarship will be held to the highest standard, they are getting a free or price-reduced education after all. If a student receives a 4.0 GPA and scores of 5 on all their AP exams throughout high school and then drop to a 3.2 and scores a 3 on their AP exams in the second semester of senior year, its common for the scholarship to be transferred to another student, one who has maintained their grades and demonstrated continued motivation and dedication to their learning.

The Advantage of English Online Tutoring Jobs

The Advantage of English Online Tutoring JobsEnglish online tutoring jobs are, literally, just that - online. Students do not have to commute to a teacher in order to attend a class. In fact, most times, students can get some or all of their work done at home, or even by cell phone. Most online English tutor jobs offer the chance to work from home, but most do not provide many incentives for doing so.The average student in America pays out-of-pocket tuition fees every semester. This amount is determined by your state, and the total can be very high. In some states, the student has to pay tuition fees to be eligible for a scholarship, and many times this would be the same tuition fee per semester as in the local school.Even if you are qualified for free public tuition and you do not qualify for a scholarship, you will still pay tuition fees. At the end of the day, the cost of college education in America is extremely high. Many parents cannot afford to pay the tuition fees for their c hildren, and even those who have the means of paying their tuition fees will find it difficult to do so.English online tutoring jobs are different than traditional classes, because the student does not have to pay to attend. Many English online tutor jobs include a reduced tuition fee, or free education, depending on the employer.Many English online tutor jobs also include a guarantee of a job. Many of these job descriptions will say something like 'Awarded a work opportunity with an established educational institution.' If you do not receive the work opportunity after three months, you do not have to worry about not receiving a paycheck.Online tutoring is not an easy task, as the student must be willing to give up much of their free time. Aswell, there are many dangers, especially in today's economy. With rising unemployment rates, employers are less likely to hire people that they do not know or trust.For many parents, English online tutoring jobs are the only viable solution to t he rising costs of college education. If the college student chooses to take out loans to cover the cost of tuition fees, then it becomes a financial burden that is only going to get worse.

An Orbital Diagram For Chemistry!

An Orbital Diagram For Chemistry!Orbit is the term that scientists use to describe a charged particle in space, which can be viewed on an orbital diagram. This diagram is a graphic representation of the distribution of mass in a geosynchronous orbit around the Earth, where the orbital plane lies over the equator and the orbit is inclined in the plane of the Earth's orbit by about five degrees.The OGs represent the nucleus of a charged particle. These are also known as solar system particles. It is important to note that the ionized gases, charged particles, and anti-ions can all exist in the same space.The OGs are composed of positively charged particles like protons, electrons, neutrons, and ions. Many of these particles have masses greater than one electron. To ensure a balanced atmosphere, there should be enough atoms with less than one electron for each atom with an electron.It is important to note that the orbital diagram should always be checked for accuracy. There are a number of other factors which may affect the actual location of the OGs. For example, the Coriolis force affects the location of OGs, in that it tends to pull a planet's orbit closer to the Sun, and it can also cause a tilted plane.A frequently discussed effect of an orbiting body is the influence of the Coriolis force. In the simplest form, this forces the body to move towards the direction of motion of the planet, or away from the planet in the case of a moving body. Most often, OGs are used to describe how an object in space is affected by the Coriolis force. For example, an object that moves at a high velocity towards the Sun is normally dragged along by the Coriolis force; however, if it was to slow down, the Earth would move away from the Sun, dragging the orbit of the OGs closer to the Sun.Other factors which affect the location of OGs can be due to the influence of the gravitational force of the Sun, as well as the Sun's gravity. Also, because the Earth has an axial tilt, the dire ction of its orbit is also affected by the Earth's tilt. Thus, other sources of influence include the tilt of the Earth's axis, the position of the Earth's spin axis, and the tilt of the Earth's orbit. There are many different theories about the origin of the orbits of OGs, and they have been compared with each other.Scientists have found that the long term survival of a person depends on the location of their orbit, as it affects the gravitational force exerted on them. Although the reason behind the location of the OGs is still unknown, it has been concluded that the orbits are stable and have been proven through rigorous calculations and research. The future of the OGs is currently being determined by scientists.

What Chemists And Engineers Do

What Chemists And Engineers DoChemistry extraction is an ongoing process in which chemical compounds, gas, or liquids are extracted from a particular material in the name of science. It mainly relies on the thermodynamics and chemical properties of materials, for which there are vast studies that go into preparing high-powered machines to perform the job. Chemists and engineers are the best experts to deal with the intricate processes that are involved in performing the extraction.Chemicals used in chemical extraction includes alcohols, acids, strong alkali metals, acids, alkaline metals, ether, chloroform, petroleum, carbon, sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, nitrogen and many others. Also, a wide variety of products are extracted by the engineers and chemists to produce various chemicals, synthetic compounds, and other products for various industries. The plants that operate these machines are called hydrometallurgical plants. They have been widely used in different parts of the world, especially in the pharmaceutical, chemical manufacturing, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries.With the wide usage of high-powered machinery for chemical extraction, this is one of the fastest growing industries around the world. They are used in various areas such as the automotive, electronic and pharmaceutical industries, agriculture, oil exploration, plastic industries, food industries, and many more. They have been used to make such products such as ammonia, sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride, sulphuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydroxide, ethylene glycol, vegetable oils, pharmaceutical and herbal products, soap, chemicals, syrups, and several other substances.In fact, there are plenty of people who are quite fond of using high-powered machines that use infrared heat to extract the chemicals and gases. The most commonly used machines are the high-temperature concentrated gas extraction machine, and high-pressure gas extraction machine. The chemical reaction used to extract the substances in the whole process, involves the combined forces of the experts with these machines.Using a high-powered machine has its benefits. One of the main advantages of using this machine is that it can be used to remove other substances from the materials that are being extracted. They can be used to extract soft and hard materials from them such as petroleum and coal tar, as well as from graphite, papers, and even glass, leather, and plastics.Chemical extraction involves a lot of machines, tools, and technologies to prepare the extracted substances. These machines are either driven by electric power or by chemical reactions that require high heat. The chemical reaction that is required to extract the materials is using heavy pressure, which involves removing them through a condenser, which is connected to the working water supply.Chemists and engineers who work on chemical extraction also test the chemicals before extracting them. This way, they are sure t hat the chemical compound does not contain any harmful substances. Also, they are able to get the correct content of the substance that they need to produce the specific product.
