Le procédé de traitement des effluents le plus ancien et le plus communément pratiqué dans les mines d’or canadiennes est la dégradation naturelle. Cette méthode consiste à conserver les effluents des mines d’or dans un étang pendant une période [...] suffisamment longue pour produire un effluent acceptable. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9gradation%20naturelle

Chimie du procédé. La dégradation naturelle du cyanure est due à une combinaison de plusieurs mécanismes différents tels l'hydrolyse, la volatilisation, l'oxydation chimique et bactériologique, la précipitation, la photolyse, etc. En général, le principal mécanisme pour l'élimination du cyanure des bassins de retenue contenant des effluents d’extraction d’or semble être la volatilisation du HCN10. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9gradation%20naturelle

L’expression «transformations biochimiques», qui est de nature explicative, peut aussi constituer une solution de traduction acceptable si, en contexte, on désire varier le style. Cette expression décrit en effet avec passablement de justesse les phénomènes qui se produisent au cours de la dégradation. Elle est illustrée dans la justification qui suit. 4, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9gradation%20naturelle

«Substances dégradables» : Substances qui subissent dans le milieu naturel une série de transformations biochimiques, particulièrement sous l’action des micro-organismes qui les réduisent progressivement en leurs éléments simples, ou en composés simples (eau, acide carbonique, etc ...). 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9gradation%20naturelle

«dégradabilité» : Qualité des déchets et des polluants qui, abandonnés dans l’air, les eaux ou le sol, s’y décomposent rapidement en produits de faible masse moléculaire et inoffensifs. Dans la majorité des cas, la dégradation exige l’intervention des bactéries, et la substance est dite «biodégradable». Mais il arrive que les agents de surface (eau, oxygéne, gaz carbonique, etc.) opèrent une dégradation purement chimique, souvent avec l’aide de facteurs physiques tels que le rayonnement solaire. 6, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9gradation%20naturelle

Les abréviations anglaise «BOD» et française «DBO» sont employées généralement de préférence aux expressions complètes correspondantes; c’est sans doute pourquoi l’expression "élimination de la demande biochimique en oxygène" n’apparaît dans aucun des documents consultés.
