Phosphorus: Chemical Reactions Of Phosphorus And Its Importance
Number of words: 719 - Number of pages: 3.... world consists of a set of processes to filter out the phosphate.
The setup is the following: Purpose: Restrict phosphates to aluminum
phosphates for easier disposal of phosphorus.
The first step in phosphorus removal is the Rapid Mix. In this stage,
alum and waste or water runoff(known as effluent) is blended together as
rapidly as possible with the use of a high-speed mixer called a "flash
mixer." After this instant mixing, a slower moving process called
coagulation and flocculation follows to allow the formation of a floc.
These processes occur in a Flocculation Chamber. This flo .....

flood control, in sustaining high-water tables, and as settling basins to
reduce pollution downstream. Despite their great environmental value, marshes
are continually being destroyed by drainage and filling.
Marine Life, plants and animals of the sea, from the high-tide mark

CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Number of words: 874 - Number of pages: 4.... an important detail in the understanding of the chemical reaction combustion of oxygen. He said that combustion was a chemical reaction involving oxygen and another combustible substance, such as wood.
John Dalton, in the early Nineteenth Century, discovered the atom. It gave way to the idea that a chemical reaction was actually the rearrangement of groups of atoms called molecules. Dalton also said that the appearance and disappearance of properties meant that the atomic composition gave the appearance of different properties. He also came up with idea that a molecule of one substance is e .....

Atmosphere Crisis
Number of words: 646 - Number of pages: 3.... rock devoid of all life.
Global warming is the predicted result of the greenhouse effect, created by so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere. The increase in these gases is thought to be caused by industrialization, especially by the use of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. These gases act much like the glass in the greenhouse: They let sunlight in and keep the heat from escaping. As these gases increase in our atmosphere, concern has grown that temperatures will increase around the globe, just as in the inside of a greenhouse. Global warming .....

Another area of genetic technology involves inserting genes into plants to make them immune to common viruses, this could increase the crop production. If the crop production could be increased, food would become cheaper and easier to obtain. For economical reasons gene technology is better for the producers and consumers. The producers wouldn’t have to throw some crops away due to disease and weather damage, and we the consumers would get better qua .....

demonstrate the relations among these factors.
POPULATION GROWTH
Many of us have seen linear graphs of human population showing the enormous
growth in the last two centuries. However, significant changes in population
dynamics are lost in the exponential growth and long time scales. If the data
are replotted on a log-population by log-time scale, significant population
dynamics emerge. First, it is apparent that population growth has occurred .....

Acid Rain 12
Number of words: 1314 - Number of pages: 5.... of higher precipitation in recent years, sulphur deposition has not dropped as much as might be expected from the reductions in emissions.
· Estimates of how much pollution the environment can absorb without damage are called critical loads.
· Sulphur, like nitrogen, is essential to all animals and plants. The natural sulphur cycle includes volcanic emissions, sulphate in sea salts, and sulphur compounds produced by marine organisms. On a global basis, emissions from such sources are of about the same order of magnitude as those from the combustion of fossil fuels (coal and oil), but .....
