单词 activated sludge process
释义
activated sludge process

Chemistry
  • A sewage and waste-water treatment. The sludge produced after primary treatment is pumped into aeration tanks, where it is continuously stirred and aerated, resulting in the formation of small aggregates of suspended colloidal organic matter called floc. Floc contains numerous slime-forming and nitrifying bacteria, as well as protozoans, which decompose organic substances in the sludge. Agitation or air injection maintains high levels of dissolved oxygen, which helps to reduce the biochemical oxygen demand. Roughly half the sewage in Britain is treated using this method.


Chemical Engineering
  • A process used in the treatment of sewage and wastewater. Sludge is formed when air is bubbled through the sewage resulting in the aggregation of flocs. These contain denitrifying bacteria that are capable of decomposing organic substances. Aeration ensures a high level of dissolved oxygen and helps to reduce the biological oxygen demand. Stirring of the sludge can also aid the process.
