f CHEMOMETRIC DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS APPLIED TO PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS

Chemometrics design of experiments and analysis applied to physicochemical and geophysical laboratory experiments potentially enable more robust experimentation. Chemometrics extracts information from empirical chemical systems, physical systems, industrial processes, or other experiments. It is essentially an interdisciplinary science incorporating applied multivariate statistics and mathematics with the goal of exploring problems in chemistry, biology, engineering, industrial processes, and the medical fields, for example. This presentation presents results from two laboratory geophysical experiments performed to evaluate the physicochemical response to various experimental treatments in an aqueous solution and a sand matrix.
