Other permanent gases: Argon = 0.9%; Neon = 0.002%; Helium = 0.0005%; Krypton = 0.0001%; Hydrogen = 0.00005%.

lyophilisation. Procédé de conservation fondé sur la déshydratation par le froid, également appelé «cryodessiccation». Le traitement comporte trois étapes en continu : une surgélation classique, puis un chauffage sous vide du produit surgelé pour réaliser sa sublimation(son eau passe directement du stade solide de la glace à l'état gazeux de la vapeur sans retrouver l'état liquide), et enfin un chauffage rapide pour éliminer l'eau résiduelle. 2, record 10, French, - lyophilisation%20continue

Les sources de pollution et les moyens de lutte contre la pollution [...] Les condensats des lessiveurs(ou les condensats de térébenthine) et les condensats provenant des corps d’évaporation de la liqueur faible sont des sources concentrées de DBO et de soufre réduit. Il faut rectifier à la vapeur ces faibles volumes de liquide pour en supprimer le méthanol, les composés gazeux du soufre à l'état réduit et les autres matières volatiles, et réduire ainsi la DBO avant de les rejeter. La rectification à la vapeur consiste essentiellement en une épuration par distillation étagée, où la vapeur en contact direct sert de source de chaleur. On refroidit suffisamment les gaz chauds qui s’échappent par le haut de la colonne pour faire condenser l'eau et on brûle les incondensables dans le four à chaux. 1, record 11, French, - incondensables

The gases are heated or cooled in "direct contact heat transfer" sections at the bottom of the towers. The trays are termed heat transfer trays because their function is primarily heat transfer, although some mass transfer takes place. If the trays are used to heat the gas, they are called humidifying trays and the section of the tower containing the trays is referred to as humidifier section. Dehumidifying trays and dehumidifier sections apply to gas cooling. 1, record 12, English, - direct%20contact%20heat%20transfer

Échangeurs de chaleur-On appelle ainsi, d’une manière générale, tout appareil construit et utilisé en vue de transmettre la chaleur d’un corps à un autre, le plus souvent d’un fluide à un autre fluide. [...] D'après le principe de fonctionnement, il y a trois types fondamentaux d’échangeurs de chaleur :-les échangeurs à mélange ou à contacts, dans lesquels les deux fluides sont mis en contact direct; [...]-les échangeurs où l'un des deux fluides est à l'état liquide et l'autre, à l'état gazeux; exemple : un échangeur où la chaleur de l'air comprimé sortant d’un compresseur est transmise à de l'eau froide, avant le passage de cet air, dans un deuxième compresseur, ou dans l'appareil d’utilisation. 2, record 12, French, - transfert%20de%20chaleur%20par%20contact%20direct
