  2. Anoxic waters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoxic_waters

    Anoxic waters are areas of sea water, fresh water, or groundwater that are depleted of dissolved oxygen. The US Geological Survey defines anoxic groundwater as those with dissolved oxygen concentration of less than 0.5 milligrams per litre. [1] Anoxic waters can be contrasted with hypoxic waters, which are low (but not lacking) in dissolved ...

  3. Degassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degassing

    Although this method can be applied only to oxygen and involves the risk of reduction of the solute, the dissolved oxygen is almost totally eliminated. The ketyl radical from sodium and benzophenone can also be used for removing both oxygen and water from inert solvents such as hydrocarbons and ethers; the degassed solvent can be separated by ...

  4. Deaerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaerator

    Oxygen and Nitrogen are two non-condensable gases that are removed by deaeration. Henry's law describes the relationship of dissolved gases and partial pressures. Thermal deaeration relies on the principle that the solubility of a gas in water decreases as the water temperature increases and approaches its boiling point. In the deaerator, water ...

  5. Ultrapure water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrapure_water

    Ultrapure water (UPW), high-purity water or highly purified water (HPW) is water that has been purified to uncommonly stringent specifications. Ultrapure water is a term commonly used in manufacturing to emphasize the fact that the water is treated to the highest levels of purity for all contaminant types, including organic and inorganic compounds, dissolved and particulate matter, and ...

  6. Iron-oxidizing bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-oxidizing_bacteria

    The anoxygenic phototrophic iron oxidation was the first anaerobic metabolism to be described within the iron anaerobic oxidation metabolism. The photoferrotrophic bacteria use Fe 2+ as electron donor and the energy from light to assimilate CO 2 into biomass through the Calvin Benson-Bassam cycle (or rTCA cycle) in a neutrophilic environment (pH 5.5-7.2), producing Fe 3+ oxides as a waste ...

  7. Oxygen saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation

    Dissolved oxygen levels required by various species in the Chesapeake Bay (US). In aquatic environments, oxygen saturation is a ratio of the concentration of "dissolved oxygen" (DO, O 2), to the maximum amount of oxygen that will dissolve in that water body, at the temperature and pressure which constitute stable equilibrium conditions.

  9. Drilling fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_fluid

    Water-based drilling fluid has very little toxicity, made from water, bentonite and baryte, all clay from mining operations, usually found in Wyoming and in Lunde, Telemark. There are specific chemicals that can be used in water-based drilling fluids that alone can be corrosive and toxic, such as hydrochloric acid.
