Des épandages de dispersants sont réalisés sur les nappes [de pétrole] principales, d’abord par bateau, puis aussi par hélicoptère et avion. Le 16 décembre, le gouvernement coréen mobilise l’ADDS Pack (Airborne Dispersant Delivery System) embarqué sur le porteur lourd Hercules [...] Un seul vol d’épandage, avec 5 tonnes de dispersants, est réalisé. 1, record 1, French, - vol%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9pandage

In general, "land farming" refers to the repeated application of wastes to the soil surface, whereas "land spreading" and "land treatment" are often used interchangeably to describe the one-time application of wastes to the soil surface. Some practitioners do not follow the same terminology convention, and may interchange all three terms. Readers should focus on the technologies rather than on the specific names given to each process. 3, record 2, English, - land%20farming

The [TVX] company's first selection for the oxidation of the ore was bio-oxidation, a fairly cheap method which poses serious threats to the environment, as it demands huge quantities of sodium cyanide (15-150 kg per tonne of concentrate!), its gaseous emissions are difficult to control and the arsenic is left in a water-soluble form. 1, record 3, English, - bio%2Doxidation

As the richer ores of gold (and other metals) are depleted, it is necessary for mining companies to focus on low-grade refractory gold-bearing ores in which the gold is encapsulated in the crystal structure of a sulphide matrix (typically pyrite). These ores cannot be broken down by cyanidation without an oxidative pre-treatment such as nitric acid oxidation, roasting, pressure oxidation or biological oxidation using microorganisms. Biological oxidation is currently achieved in slurry bioreactors which have certain disadvantages. 4, record 3, English, - bio%2Doxidation

La contribution de la biotechnologie à une production plus propre dans le secteur minier touche principalement l’extraction des métaux que contiennent divers types de minerais au moyen de techniques de biolixiviation ou de biooxydation, et la prévention du drainage minier acide (DMA). Comme la biolixiviation et l’oxydation biologique s’effectuent surtout à température et pression ambiantes ou peu élevées, la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et les économies potentielles d’énergie qu’elles génèrent sont plus faibles comparativement au grillage et à la fusion, qui sont des procédés de traitement à haute température. 4, record 3, French, - bio%2Doxydation

Des essais métallurgiques exhaustifs se poursuivent afin de confirmer les taux de récupération du minerai lixivié ou des concentrés de sulfures après bio-oxydation. Les résultats à ce jour sont encourageants et démontrent que le procédé par bio-oxydation du minerai de Metates et sur le concentré s’est avéré une méthode de pré-traitement efficace, avec des taux de récupération des métaux précieux régulièrement obtenus en laboratoire de plus de 80 %. 5, record 3, French, - bio%2Doxydation

Le traitement, en particulier par compostage, des boues de station d’épuration avant épandage agricole devient une pratique de plus en plus fréquente. Le procédé de compostage est un procédé biologique aérobie qui comporte deux grandes étapes : une étape pendant laquelle la biooxydation est prédominante et une étape pendant laquelle le processus de réarrangement moléculaire et d’humification devient prépondérant. 6, record 3, French, - bio%2Doxydation
