  2. Air sparging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_sparging

    Air sparging, also known as in situ air stripping [1] and in situ volatilization is an in situ remediation technique, used for the treatment of saturated soils and groundwater contaminated by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like petroleum hydrocarbons, [2] a widespread problem for the ground water and soil health.

  3. Air stripping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_stripping

    This process is known as volatization or air stripping. Water is deposited into the system through the top and air is ventilated in through the bottom. Water that reaches the bottom of the system is typically considered treated, but additional testing may be done to determine if it is safe for consumption. [ 1 ]

  4. Sparging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparging

    Sparging may refer to: Sparging (chemistry) , a process in which a gas is bubbled through a liquid to remove other gases or volatile compounds Air sparging , a remediation process in which air is pushed through contaminated water or soil to remove volatile pollutants

  5. Aerenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerenchyma

    Aerenchyma in stem cross section of a typical wetland plant. Aerenchyma or aeriferous parenchyma [1] or lacunae, is a modification of the parenchyma to form a spongy tissue that creates spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems and roots of some plants, which allows exchange of gases between the shoot and the root. [2]

  6. Sparging (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparging_(chemistry)

    Sparging introduces a gas that has little or no partial pressure of the gas(es) to be removed, and increases the area of the gas-liquid interface, which encourages some of the dissolved gas(es) to diffuse into the sparging gas before the sparging gas escapes from the liquid. Many sparging processes, such as solvent removal, use air as the ...

  7. Corona discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_discharge

    Notice, especially in the last two pictures, how the discharge is concentrated at the points on the objects. A corona discharge is a process by which a current flows from an electrode with a high potential into a neutral fluid, usually air, by ionizing that fluid so as to create a region of plasma around the electrode.

  8. Hypersensitive response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersensitive_response

    Hypersensitive response (HR) is a mechanism used by plants to prevent the spread of infection by microbial pathogens.HR is characterized by the rapid death of cells in the local region surrounding an infection and it serves to restrict the growth and spread of pathogens to other parts of the plant.

  9. Photorespiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photorespiration

    This process lowers the efficiency of photosynthesis, potentially lowering photosynthetic output by 25% in C 3 plants. [1] Photorespiration involves a complex network of enzyme reactions that exchange metabolites between chloroplasts , leaf peroxisomes and mitochondria .
