Non-aqueous phase liquids such as chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents or petroleum fractions with a specific gravity greater than 1.0 that sink through the water column until they reach a confining layer.
Aqueous: Something made up of water.
Aqueous solubility: The maximum concentration of a chemical that dissolves in a given amount of water.
aqueous solubility : The extent to which a compound will dissolve in water. The log of solubility is generally inversely related to molecular weight.
aqueous (A-kwee-us). Something made up of, similar to, or
containing water; watery.
aquifer (ACK-wi-fer). A natural underground layer of ...
Aqueous Solubility: The maximum concentration of a chemical that will dissolve in pure water at a reference temperature.
Aqueous: Something made up of water.
Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL): Contaminants that remain undiluted as the original bulk liquid in the subsurface, e.g. spilled oil. (See: fee product.) ...
In aqueous solution at standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP), a pH of 7 indicates neutrality (i.e. pure water) because water naturally dissociates into H+ and OH- ions with equal concentrations of 1×10-7 mol/L.
The aqueous liquid phase of the soil and its solutes consisting of ions dissociated from the surfaces of the soil particles and of other soluble materials.
Sombric Brunisol ...
Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL)- Non-aqueous phase liquids such as chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents or petroleum fractions with a specific gravity greater than 1.0 that sink through the water column until they reach a confining layer.
The properties that characterize the climate are thermal (temperatures of the surface air, water, land, and ice), kinetic (wind and ocean currents, together with associated vertical motions and the motions of air masses, aqueous humidity, ...
spiraling length the distance downstream a nutrient atom travels to complete its cycle in the aqueous, sestonic, and consumer compartments
spore dust-sized or microscopic reproductive structure.
A convenient way of describing the strength of an acidic or basic aqueous solution. The values range from 0 to 14, with a pH of 7 corresponding to neutral.
It is used as formalin in its aqueous state (37 %). Formaldehyde is reactive due to its carbonyl functional group.
interstitial fluid
Aqueous solution filling the narrow spaces between cells.
[2]
interstitial pneumonia
Chronic form of pneumonia involving increase of the interstitial tissue and decrease of the functional lung tissue.
Corrosive Wastes -Corrosive Wastes are aqueous wastes with a pH below 2 or above 12.5, or which corrode steel at a rate in excess of 0.25 inches per year. Corrosive wastes are classified as EPA Hazardous Waste No. D002.
Degreaser: Equipment that removes grease, dirt, or unwanted materials from any part or product. Degreasers typically use aqueous or nonaqueous solvents, as liquid baths or condensing vapors, to remove such material.
Electrochemical cell
a device that removes metals from aqueous solutions by plating them as solid metal on the cathode or oxidises organic pollutants at the anode ...
free product A petroleum hydrocarbon in the liquid ("free" or non-aqueous) phase (see also non-aqueous phase liquid, NAPL).
Basic ecological unit composed of living and non-living elements interacting in an aqueous milieu.
