INORGANIC WASTES [8 records]

Record 1 2014-03-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
CONT

The hazardous waste quantities also include inorganic wastes such as aqueous solutions containing heavy metals, or that have relatively low fossil carbon origin wastes such as water-based urethanes, as opposed to solvent-based urethane wastes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
CONT

Les quantités de déchets dangereux comprennent aussi les déchets inorganiques, comme les solutions aqueuses contenant des métaux lourds, ou ceux qui contiennent relativement peu de carbone d’origine fossile, comme les uréthanes à base aqueuse, par opposition aux déchets d’uréthanes à base de solvants.

Subject field(s)
  • Trucks and Dollies (Materials Handling)
  • Containers
  • Waste Management
CONT

Imperial Beach residents can choose the size of automated waste collection cart that best meets their disposal needs. Select from three container sizes provided by EDCO: 30, 64 or 90-gallon capacity.

CONT

The wastes are collected separately in different compartments of a waste collection cart. About 2/3 of the cart are painted green and are used for collection of organic wastes that in India still constitute the largest portion of household waste and 1/3 is painted red and it is used for collection of inorganic wastes.

CONT

Ne vous débarrassez jamais des produits pharmaceutiques en les jetant dans l'évier avec de l'eau, en les mettant dans votre chariot à compost, dans votre chariot à ordures ou dans les sacs bleus, ou encore dans la toilette en activant la chasse d'eau.

Record 4 2004-02-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
CONT

Dissolved solids. The total amount of dissolved material, organic and inorganic, contained in water and wastes. Excessive dissolved solids can make water unsuitable for industrial uses, unpalatable for drinking, and even cathartic.

CONT

Interest in marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is very high because it plays an important role in oceanic and global carbon cycling, which in turn impacts weather. Understanding the processes involved in the transformations of carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, and other major elements in the oceans has been a primary goal of marine biogeochemists and oceanographers over the past decade.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Études et analyses environnementales
CONT

La matière organique dissoute joue un rôle considérable dans les phénomènes biologiques : nourriture, télémédiation chimique. En raison de sa réactivité elle intervient aussi dans les phénomènes de complexion et de chélation des métaux et d'absorption.

OBS

matière organique : Substance chimique ayant essentiellement une structure à base de carbone et comportant des composés hydrocarbonés et leurs dérivés.
