Ammonia combines with sulfate ions in the atmosphere and so neutralizes atmospheric acidity. When the ammonium sulfate is absorbed by plants, however, both the ammonia and the released sulfate ions contribute to the total acidification of agricultural and forest ecosystems. 2, record 1, English, - atmospheric%20acidity

Ces ions ont une capacité basique. Elle est aussi déterminée comme capacité de fixation en acide (CFA) en mmol/L, dont la valeur est numériquement identique au volume (en ml) d'HCl 0,1 mol/L qui est utilisé lors du titrage de 100 ml d'eau jusqu'à pH 4,3. 2, record 2, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20de%20fixation%20en%20acide

More energetic propellants may reduce the launch costs of satellites, as this allows an increase in payload for the same total launch mass. These cost reductions are crucial to maintain Europe's strong position on the launcher market. The new, energetic oxidiser HNF(hydrazinium nitroformate) combined with a new energetic binder like GAP(glycidyl azide polymer) yields enhanced propellant performance, compared to the current state of the art :ammonium perchlorate(AP) based solid propellants. 2, record 3, English, - energetic%20binder

Les études relatives aux propergols solides avancés pour fusées ont pour objectif de mieux connaître leurs mécanismes de combustion afin de dégager des idées directrices pour la formulation de propergols à performances améliorées : niveau énergétique, vitesse de combustion, discrétion des produits émis, vulnérabilité etc. Les activités en 1995 ont porté sur la combustion des propergols à base d'octogène et un liant énergétique (trinitrate de triméthyoléthane) en présence des additifs balistiques. 2, record 3, French, - combustible%20liant
