A. A rock or soil is saturated with respect to water if all its interstices are filled with water b. In petrology, applied to minerals capable of crystallizing from rock magmas in the presence of an excess of silica. Such minerals are said to be saturated with regard to silica and include the feldspars, pyroxenes, amphiboles, micas, tourmaline, fayalite, spessartite, almandine, and accessory minerals, such as sphene, zircon, topaz, apatite, magnetite, and ilmenite. Also applied to igneous rocks composed wholly of saturated minerals. CF:undersaturated c.

Specialty Definition: Market saturation

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In economics, "market saturation" is a term used to describe a situation in which a product has become diffused (distributed) within a market; the actual level of saturation can depend on consumer purchasing power; as well as competition, prices, and technology.

For example, in advanced economies an extremely high percentage of households own refrigerators (more than 97% of households) i.e. the diffusion rate is more than 97%, and the market is said to be saturated i.e. further growth of sales of refrigerators will occur basically only as a result of population growth and in cases where one manufacturer is able to gain market share at the expense of others.

To give another example, in advanced western households, and depending on the economy, the number of automobiles per family is greater than 1. To the extent that further market growth (i.e. growth of the demand for automobiles) is constrained (the main buyers already own the product), the market is said to be basically saturated. Future sales depend on several factors including the rate of obsolescence (at what age cars are replaced), population growth, and societal changes such as the spread of multi-car families.

Saturation

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In chemistry, saturation has two meanings.

In physical chemistry, saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance. This point, the saturation point, depends on the temperature of the liquid as well as the chemical nature of the substances involved. This can be used in the process of recrystallisation to purify a chemical: it is dissolved to the point of saturation in hot solvent, then as the solvent cools and the solubility decreases, excess solute precipitates. Impurities, being present in much lower concentration, do not saturate the solvent and so remain dissolved in the liquid.

In organic chemistry, saturation refers to an organic compound having the maximum amount of hydrogens possible: i.e., no double bonds or when every carbon atom in a hydrocarbon chain is attached to two hydrogen atoms. Of simple hydrocarbons, alkanes are saturated, and alkenes are unsaturated.

The term is applied similarly to the fatty acid constituents of lipids, where the fat is described as saturated or unsaturated, depending on whether the constituent fatty acids contain carbon-carbon double bonds.Unsaturated is used when any carbon structure containing double or occasionally triple bonds. Many vegetable oils contain fatty acids with one (monounsaturated) or more (polyunsaturated) double bonds in them.

Similarly, an atmospheric humidity of 100% represents the saturation point, at which the air can hold no more moisture.

- see also Dew point

For magnetic materials, saturation is the state when the material cannot absorb a stronger magnetic field, such that an increase in magnetization does not produce significant change in magnetic flux density.

In telecommunications, the term saturation has the following meanings:

1. In a communications system, the condition at which a component of the system has reached its maximum traffic-handling capacity.

Note: Saturation is equivalent to one erlang per circuit.

2. The point at which the output of a linear device, such as a linear amplifier, deviates significantly from being a linear function of the input when the input signal is increased.

Note: Modulation often requires that amplifiers operate below saturation.

Source: from Federal Standard 1037C and from MIL-STD-188

In color theory, saturation refers to the intensity of a specific hue.

To desaturate a color in a subtractive system (such as watercolor), you can add white, black, grey, or the hue's compliment.

In economics, there is the concept of market saturation.
