Runoff

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The water that flows overland to lakes or streams during and shortly after a precipitation event.

Secondary treatment

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) In wastewater treatment, the conversion of the suspended, colloidal and dissolved organics remaining after primary treatment into a microbial mass with is then removed in a second sedimentation process. Secondary treatment included both the biological process and the associated sedimentation process.

Phenyl

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) A benzene ring named as a constituent group, C6H5-.

Colloids

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Small particles which have a negligible settling velocity. These particles have a very small mass so gravitational force is low compared to surface frictional forces. Typical colloidal sizes range from 10-3 mm to 1 mm.

Discrete settling

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Settling in which individual particles settle independently, neither agglomerating or interfering with the settling of the other particles present. This occurs in waters with a low concentration of particles.

Saltwater intrusion

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The gradual replacement of freshwater by saltwater in coastal areas where excessive pumping of groundwater occurs.

Oxidative phosphorylation

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The synthesis of the energy storage compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) using a chemical substrate and molecular oxygen.

Dump

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) An illegal and uncontrolled area where wastes have been placed on or in the ground. See Landfill.

Autotrophs

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) A group of organisms capable of obtaining carbon for synthesis from inorganic carbon sources such as carbon dioxide and its dissolved species (the carbonates). This group includes plants and algae.

Chlorofluorocarbons

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Synthetic organic compounds used for refrigerants, aerosol propellants (prohibited in the U.S.), and blowing agents in plastic foams. CFCs migrate to the upper atmosphere destroying ozone and increasing global warming. Typical atmospheric residence times are 50 to 200 years.

Dissolved oxygen (DO)

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The amount of molecular oxygen dissolved in water.

Photochemical pollutants

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Chemicals which react photochemically (in the presence of sunlight) to destroy ozone in the stratosphere.
