Record 4 2003-12-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

... the Waste Collection System(WCS) operates differently from the facilities on Earth. The WCS comprises a commode, a urinal, fan separators, and an odor and bacterial filter. To keep bodies from floating away due to weightlessness, astronauts fasten a seat belt-like strap or lower a bar over their legs and wedge their feet into footholds. Space toilets flush with air instead of water, and the fan helps separate liquids from solids. Liquids are purified and recycled for re-use, just as they are on Earth. Plastic bags inside the commode collect wastes, and are sealed and stored. The WCS also has storage areas for towels, wash cloths, urinal funnels, wet and dry wipes, tissues, disposable gloves, and trash bags.

OBS

CONT

Pas question de s'asseoir sur un siège de W.-C. dans l'espace. Tout simplement parce qu'on ne s'assied pas, on flotte ! Donc, il est impératif de se sangler, à la taille comme aux pieds. Ensuite, les matières ne «tombent» pas au fond de la cuvette, pour la même raison, et il est inutile de penser à les évacuer au moyen d'un système de chasse d'eau. C'est donc de l'air qui est utilisé [pour] l'évacuation [des déchets]. Le corps de l'astronaute [...] doit s'adapter [...] sur le dispositif afin d'éviter toute «fuite». [...] Pour uriner, un tube flexible est utilisé. [Ce tube] est raccordé à la partie inférieure des toilettes. Un système d'entonnoir adapté anatomiquement permet aux astronautes des deux sexes d'utiliser les mêmes toilettes.

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Soil Improvement and Fertilizer Management
CONT

Ammonium nitrate (AN) and urea are used as feedstocks in the production of urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) liquid fertilizers. Most UAN solutions typically contain 28, 30 or 32% N but other customised concentrations (including additional nutrients) are produced.

CONT

Urea and urea ammonium nitrate are commonly used fertilizers on the Canadian prairies. Both fertilizers are subject to volatile losses of ammonia when applied to the soil surface.

CONT

Power Organics Fish Fertilizer. This new fertilizer may be the world's most ideal plant food-an excellent combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in convenient form. The uniform size granules release nutrients gradually, which means plants receive a steady daily feeding over several weeks time. This is far better than ammonium-urea or manure fertilizers that evaporate or wash away from the root zone.

OBS

A fertilizer carried in tanks in solution with water which has no synergistic effect on people when mixed with toluene.
