Autotrophic

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Organisms which utilize inorganic carbon for synthesis of protoplasm. Ecologists narrow the definition further by requiring that autotrophs obtain their energy from the sun. In microbiologist parlance, this would be a photoautotroph. See photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic.

Photophosphorylation

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The synthesis of the energy storage compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) using solar energy.

Reaeration

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The dissolving of molecular oxygen from the atmosphere into the water.

Pathogenic organism

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) An organism capable of causing infection.

Virion

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) A virus particle. Viral DNA or RNA enclosed in an organic capsule. See virus.

Organic nitrogen

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Nitrogen contained as amines in organic compounds such as amino acids and proteins.

Wetland

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Semi-aquatic land, that is land that is either inundated or saturated by water for varying periods of time during each year, and that supports aquatic vegetation which is specifically adapted for saturated soil conditions.

Isomers

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Two or more different compounds with the same chemical formula but different structure and characteristics.

Ion exchange

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) An adsorption process in which one ion is exchanged for another ion of like charge. There is an equivalence of exchanged charge.

Suspended growth reactor

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) A reactor in which the microorganisms are suspended in the wastewater. Examples of suspended growth reactors are activated sludge reactors and anaerobic digesters. See attached growth reactor.

Nitrogenous oxygen demand (NOD)

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The amount of oxygen required to oxidize any ammonia present in a water.

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.
