The most efficient way for cells to harvest energy stored in food is through cellular respiration, a catabolic pathway for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP, a high energy molecule, is expended by working cells. Cellular respiration occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

As the mixture [of raw materials] moves down the cylinder [of the rotary kiln], it progresses through four stages of transformation. Initially, any free water in the powder is lost by evaporation. Next, decomposition occurs from the loss of bound water and carbon dioxide. This is called calcination. The third stage is called clinkering. During this stage, the calcium silicates are formed. The final stage is the cooling stage. 5, record 4, English, - clinkering

Le CO2 supercritique comme solvant. Avec une faible température critique (31°C), le CO2 se positionne en tête des fluides supercritiques industriels : il permet de développer des procédés à basse température pour des produits thermosensibles. Il présente par ailleurs de nombreuses propriétés qui en font un solvant de choix ... - non toxique, - pas de solvant résiduel, - chimiquement inerte, - inodore, - insipide, - basse température, - non inflammable, - haute pureté. D'une manière générale, le CO2 supercritique permet de solubiliser des composés apolaires et de faible poids moléculaire. Il présente des propriétés désinfectantes vis-à-vis des virus et bactéries, bien qu'on ne puisse parler de stérilisation. 3, record 5, French, - CO2%20supercritique

To maximize isotopic exchange, it is very important that the [hydrogen sulphide] in the units be maintained at a very high purity(99. 5%). Unfortunately, the natural water, although treated, still contains small quantities of dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other gases. If not removed continuously, these gases would accumulate and decrease the [hydrogen sulphide] purity. A continuous gas purge is drawn from the top of each firs stage cold tower and send to the purge tower where the [hydrogen sulphide] is absorbed by the incoming water. The gaseous impurities proceed from the purge tower to the absorber where any remaining [hydrogen sulphide] is absorbed. The gases, essentially [hydrogen sulphide] free, are then flared. The flare is used in this case to burn any [hydrogen sulphide] that might not have been absorbed. 1, record 9, English, - gaseous%20impurity
