Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) are the total amount of mobile charged ions, including minerals, salts or metals dissolved in a given volume of water, expressed in units of mg per unit volume of water (mg/L)
Total suspended solids (TSS) include all particles suspended in water which will not pass through
a filter. Suspended solids are present in sanitary wastewater and many types of industrial
wastewater

What is the difference between total dissolved solids and total suspended solids?
total dissolved solids is how much of the solid is dissolved in the liquid, while suspended total suspended solids is the amount of the solid floating in the liquid. e.g. if you had a solution with both and you filtered the solution then evaporated out the liquid, the solids that you filtered out would be the suspended solids, and the the solids remaining after evaporating the liquid out would be the disolved solids.
What is TDS and TSS in waste water?
TDS - Total Dissolved Solids TSS - Total Suspended Solids "Dissolved solids" refer to any minerals, salts, metals, cations or anions dissolved in water. Total dissolved solids (TDS) comprise inorganic salts (principally calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, bicarbonates, chlorides and sulfates) and some small amounts of organic matter that are dissolved in water. The suspended or colloidal particles, commonly referred to as total suspended solids (TSS), are all the extremely small suspended solids in water which will not settle out by gravity.

How do you convert Total suspended solid to Total dissolved solids?
To convert total suspended solids (TSS) to total dissolved solids (TDS), you cannot directly convert one to the other. TSS measures particles that are suspended in water, while TDS measures the total amount of inorganic salts, organic matter, and minerals dissolved in water. The two represent different aspects of water quality and require separate measurement techniques.
How do freshwater and saltwater compare in terms of their dissolved solids?
Freshwater typically has lower levels of dissolved solids compared to saltwater. Saltwater contains higher concentrations of salt (sodium chloride) and other dissolved minerals, making it more saline. This difference in dissolved solids affects the density and freezing point of the water.
Can evaporating be used to remove solids?
Depending on what type of solid it is. For example if the solid is ice then yes, But if the solid is a chicken leg then no.

(chemistry) The total content of suspended and dissolved solids in waterRead more: total-solids
Why filtration is not good for separating dissolved solids?
A dissolved solid is no longer a solid, but becomes part of the liquid. Filtration can separate suspended solids, which are still solid.
How do you convert Total suspended solid to Total dissolved solids?
To convert total suspended solids (TSS) to total dissolved solids (TDS), you cannot directly convert one to the other. TSS measures particles that are suspended in water, while TDS measures the total amount of inorganic salts, organic matter, and minerals dissolved in water.

What is difference between suspended solid and turbidity?
Suspended solids are particles present in water that can settle out over time, while turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness or haziness of water due to particles in suspension. Suspended solids are the actual particles in the water, while turbidity is a measure of how those particles affect the clarity of the water.
What is usually described as the accumulation of suspended organic or inorganic materials in the water?
In water quality and hydrology, there are two related terms: Total Suspended Solids (TSS) - the measured solids held in water Sediment Load - the materials carried in moving water (consists of dissolved load and suspended load, separate from bed load)
How do you remove suspended solids?
· Suspended solids can be removed using filter cloth or filter paper.
What is a liquid with a solid dissolved in it called?
A liquid with dissolved solids is a liquid; a liquid with solids suspended in it is a "non-Newtonian fluid." Mix up a 1:1 of water and cornstarch and you'll see what I mean.
Can evaporating be used to remove solids?
Depending on what type of solid it is. For example if the solid is ice then yes, But if the solid is a chicken leg then no.
What is the difference between clarifier and classifier?
Clarifier removes solids from Liquid and Clarifier removes solids from Gas
