But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife-not the husband—becomes seriously ill.“Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce,”said researcher Amelia Karraker.Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50.The researchers examined how the onset(发生)of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over theperiod studied. The incidence of new chronic(慢性的)illness onset increased over time as well, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.“We found that women are doubly vulnerable to marital break-up in the face of illness,”Karraker said. “They’re more likely to be widowed, and if they’re the ones who become ill, they’re more likely to get divorced.”While the study didn’t assess why divorce in more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender norms and social expectations about caregiving many make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses,” Karraker said. “And because of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among prospective partners than divorced women.”Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population, Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce.“Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce marital stress and prevent divorce at older ages,” she said. “But it’s also important to recognize that the pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.”31. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage? [单选题] *A) They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.(正确答案)B) They are as binding as they used to be.C) They are not taken seriously any more.D) They may help couples tide over hard times.32. What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands? [单选题] *A) They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.B) They can become increasingly vulnerable to serious illnesses.C) They can develop different kinds of illnesses just like their wives.D) They are more likely to contract serious illnesses than their wives.(正确答案)33. What does Karraker say about women who fall ill? [单选题] *A) They are more likely to be widowed.B) They are more likely to get divorced.(正确答案)C) They are less likely to receive good care.D) They are less likely to bother their spouses.34. Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker? [单选题] *A) They are more accustomed to receiving care.(正确答案)B) They find it more important to make money for the family.C) They think it more urgent to fulfill their social obligations.D) They expect society to do more of the job.35. What does Karraker think is also important? [单选题] *A) Reducing marital stress on wives.B) Stabilizing old couples’s relations.C) Providing extra care for divorced women.(正确答案)D) Making men pay for their wives’ health costs.阅读理解二:If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a sibling’s(兄弟姐妹的)name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved youless?The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition,found that the “wrong” name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin, “but it doestell us who’s in and who’s out of the group.”The study also found that within that group, misnamings occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them—family or friend—had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry.36. How might people often feel when they were misnamed? [单选题] *A)Unwanted.B)Unhappy.(正确答案)C)Confused.D)Indifferent.37. What did David Rubin’s research find about misnaming? [单选题] *A)It is related to the way our memories work.(正确答案)B)It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.C)It occurs mostly between kids and their friends.D)It often causes misunderstandings among people.38. What is most likely the cause of misnaming? [单选题] *A) Similar personality traits.B) Similar spellings of names.C) Similar physical appearance.D) Similar pronunciation of names.(正确答案)39. What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming? [单选题] *A) It more often than not hurts relationships.B) It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.C) It is most frequently found in extended families.D) It most often occurs within a relationship groups.(正确答案)40. Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers? [单选题] *A) They suffer more frustrations.B) They become worn out more often.C) They communicate more with their children.(正确答案)D) They generally take on more work at home.。

U11、1.What is Envoronmental Science?环境科学是研究和评价环境影响的一门学科。
环境科学家们首先试图去认识人类在自然环境中各种活动的样态、影响和变化。
环境科学家们他们知道正在发生着什么,然后去寻找这种原因或多种原因。
他们通常也能够去探求这些答案。
2、Solutions to Environmental Problems鉴于环境科学对理解人类对自然环境影响的重要性,社会通常依靠环境政策、环境教育以及环境技术来解决环境问题。
环境政策和教育这两者与改变人们的习惯和行为相关。
环境政策甚至更能直接调整生活习惯。
空气净化法案,例如,制定某些因工业设备允许排放的某些种类气体的排放标准(允许水平)。
至于环境教育,它试图以更细微的方式改变人们的习惯。
比如说,教育大多数的消费者关于汽车引起的空气污染,可能会使一些人改变他们的行为,采用污染更少的交通方式,如步行、自行车或公交交通等。
最后,环境技术通过使用代替的工具、或减少环境影响的程序来用于解决环境问题。
例如,像大家都知道的触媒转化器,安装于排气系统,用于中和汽油燃烧室发动机排出的废气。
为解决特定的环境问题,社会通常借助于环境政策、环境教育以及环境技术三种形式或其组合来实现。
3、The Enviroment as a System为较好地认识自然环境,人们对环境的影响以及人们通过改变行为和使用技术来减少对于环境影响的方式,我们最好从“系统”的角度来思考自然或自然环境。
一个系统可以看做各要素相互作用、相互关联或相互依赖的组群,也可看成是各种要素的一个集合体。
把自然环境作为一个系统来考虑,它是由四部分构成,每部分都有自己的形式、体系安排、特征和动力学。
这五种亚系统包括:大气圈---覆盖在地球周围的气体或气体地球;岩石圈---由岩石和矿物构成的固体地球;水圈------地球的水或地球液体;生物圈---地球的生命,包括植物、动物、昆虫和除人类之外的所有有生命的东西。

Unit 10 水污染与治理1854年英国伦敦爆发了大规模的流行性霍乱。
此事明确地证实了污水和疾病之间的关系。
当初以公共健康为目的所采取的污染控制,依然是许多地区的主要目的。
然而,水资源的保持,产鱼区的防护,以及娱乐活动用水的维持在今天也成为关注的焦点。
紧随第二次世界大战之后所产生的城市人口密度突增和工业化进程的加剧,都使得水污染问题越见明显。
致使对于水污染的关注程度在70年代中期达到了顶峰。
水污染是一个不准确的术语,它并未指出污染物的种类和来源。
而我们处理废水问题的方式往往取决于以下几个方面:污染物是否需要氧气,是否助长藻类,是否有传染性,是否有毒,或者仅仅是否好看。
水源的污染可能直接来自生活污水的排放或工厂污水排放(点源),也可能间接地由空气污染、农业排水或城市排水(非点源)所引发。
化学上所谓的纯水仅仅是水分子的集合。
无论在野外的河流或湖泊、云层或雨水中,还是在下雪期间,极地的冰帽地区,这种物质在自然界均不能找到。
然而在实验室中可以制备非常纯净的水,但是存在一定的困难。
因为水极易接受和容纳外来物质。
城市污水,也被称作生活污水,是一种复杂的混合物。
它包含水(通常超过99%)以及悬浮或溶解的有机和无机污染物。
这些污染物的浓度通常很低并且以mg/L来表示,也就是说,每升混合物含有多少毫克污染物。
重量与体积比也常用来表示在水、废水、工业废水和其它稀释溶液中的污染物浓度。
微生物任何地方只要存在适合的食物,充足的湿度和适当的温度,微生物即可大量繁殖。
而生活污水为各种各样的微生物提供了一个理想的环境。
这些微生物主要是细菌,某些病毒和原生动物。
废水中的大多数微生物是无害的,并且可借助生化过程,将有机物转化为稳定的最终产物。
但是当一些人患有可通过有毒废水传播的传染性疾病时,其排泄物所携带的致病病原体,极有可能成为污水的组成部分。
虽然在发达国家,类似于水传播的细菌性疾病,例如霍乱、伤寒和肺结核,病毒性疾病例如传染性的肝炎和原生虫引起的痢疾,已经不再是问题,但是在那些经过适当处理过的污水不能被公共利用的地区仍然存在着很大威胁。

环境工程专业英语翻译范围
1.From the very early industrial period in the United States, which started about 1920, until several years after the Second World War, there was little concern for the proper methods of disposal of waste materials that were generated as by-products during manufacturing processes. Up until the 1960`s it was quite common to find fresh water rivers and streams fouled with waste chemicals from manufacturing, salt water from oil production wells and wastes acids from steel mill activities. Virtually every conceivable waste oil, solvent, or resin waste could be found in the rivers.2. In order for an industry to implement waste minimization/ waste reduction, certain elements need to be in place. First there should be ownership or management commitment. This should be a written policy indicating support of waste minimization. Management must be recognized as desirous of this program before employees will adopt it with any enthusiasm. The commitment has to be real, to affect production decisions, and to be a part of job performance evaluations.3. The overall objective of environmental analysis is to obtain information about both natural and pollutant species present in the environment so as to make a realistic assessment of their probable behavior. In the case of pollutants, this involves assessment of their actual or potential environmental impact, which may be manifest in several ways. Thus, a pollutant species may present a toxicological hazard to plants or animals. It may also cause contamination of resources so that they cannot be utilized for other purposes.4. Solid: Total solids in wastewater are, by definition, the residues after the liquid portion has been evaporated and the remainder dried to a constant weight at 103ºC. Differentiation between dissolved solids and undissolved, that is , suspended, solid are accomplished by evaporating, filtered and unfiltered wastewater samples. The difference in weight between the two dried samples indicates the suspended solids content. To further categorize the residues, they are held at 550ºC for 15 minutes. The ash remaining is considered to represent inorganic solids and the loss of volatile matter to be a measure of the organic content.5. Water flows more slowly in lakes than in rivers, and therefore the residence time of water is much longer in a lake. In the summer, the upper watersm called the epilimnion(the surface lake) are warmed by the sun. These warmer waters, being lighter than the colder ones lower lake waters (the hypolimnion) are cold and relatively airless. Between the two lies a transition layer, the thermocline, in which both temperature and oxygen content fall off they become as dense as the lower layers, the entire lake water circulates as a unit and become oxygenated. This enrichment is, in fact, enhanced by the greater solubility of oxygen in colder waters. Furthermore, the reduced metabolic rates of all organisms at lower temperatures result in a lesser demand for oxygen. Then, the waters below support the aquatic life through the winter.6. For many years people were relatively unconterned about pollution of the oceans because the great mass of the sea can dilute a huge volume of foreign matter to the point where it has little effect. In recent years this attitude has changed for several reasons. For one, pollutants are often added in such relatively high concentration in local areas that environmental disruption does occur. In addition, the quantity of pollutants dumped into the ocean has grown so large that some scientists fear that global effects may be significant.7. As mentioned earlier in the discussion of biological treatment, it is advantageous to change little particles into big ones that settle faster. So it is also with inorganic pollutants. V arious inorganic colloidal particles are waterloving and therefore rather adhesive; in their stickiness the sweep together many other colloidal particles that would otherwise fail to settle out in a reasonable time. This process is called flocculation. Lime, alum, and some salts of iron are among these so called flocculating agents.8. The augmentation of the atmosphere’s greenhouse effect from anthropogenically derived CO2 has the potential for significantly warming global climate. By increasing the length of the growing season, the consequences of this warming may in the short term be beneficial. In the long term, however, continued global warming may have deleterious effects on global agriculture. According to a National Research Council report, climatic warming associated with increased atmospheric CO2 levels could be expected to cause significant changes in agricultural zones。

Unit 3 What is Waste Reduction/Waste Minimization?什么是废物减量化,废物最少化美国花费了大量的时间在讨论像资源减量化,废物最小化,循环和阻止污染这些术语上,EPA已经提供了以下的定义。
资源减量化:减少在于一个过程中的大量废物的任何行为。
它包括,例如,过程调整,原料调整,提高管理和回收在循环。
废物最少化:产生的废物最大程度减少,然后处理,存储,或者处置。
它包括了被导致了只要减量化与现在或将来威胁到人类健康和环境的最小化的目标一致的总容量或废物数量的减少或者废物毒性的减少,或者两方面兼备的发生器承担任何资源减量化或循环的活动。
回收:作为一个商业产品的代替品,或作为一个工业过程的原料的利用或再利用。
它包括了废物的有用的小部分或来自允许再用的去除了污染物的废物的在现场或离开现场的回收利用。
污染的防止:污染可能在生产过程之中产生,或者在当一个产品被用作商业用途或被消费者使用的时候产生。
这样可能在三个方式上被阻止:改变投入/减少依赖有毒物或有害的原材料;改变过程/增加效率/提高类似设备修改的维修保养,更好的管理,在过程中闭环循环;或者改变产出/减小对有毒或者有害产品的依赖。
随着1984年危险废物和固体废物修正案资源保护和恢复法的通过,美国国会建立一个国家政策来表明回收或消除危险废物的产生重要性。
美国国会宣称它是一项无论在美国哪里都可行的国家政策,要尽可能迅速地回收或消除危险废物的产生。
然而产生的废物还是应被处理、储存或处置,从而尽量减少现在和将来对人类健康和环境的威胁。
在1990年,美国国会通过污染防治法,建立了一个全国废物管理政策。
表明第一污染应该被预防或回收;;第二,废物应该用一种环保安全的方式进行循环利用;第三,废物应该被处理;最后,废物应该被除去或降解到环境。
在美国,随着这些和其他环境法规的通过,废物最少化成为一种重要的工作理念.废物回收/废物最少化技术同时,对于一些特定的工厂,废物最少化的当然是在具体的工厂或在实地,能用的技术能被分为以下主要几类:●product changes产品改变●process changes过程改变●equipment modifications设备改造●operating practices操作训练●recycling and reuse回收和再利用在实践中,尽量减少废物的机会是有限的,只有被工厂人员的聪明才智所利用. 这种技术已经被运用与大数量的工业和工业化生产过程,同时也被应用于有危险性和非危险性的废物。

Unit10水污染与治理1854年英国伦敦爆发了大规模的流行性霍乱。
此事明确地证实了污水和疾病之间的关系。
当初以公共健康为目的所采取的污染控制,依然是许多地区的主要目的。
然而,水资源的保持,产鱼区的防护,以及娱乐活动用水的维持在今天也成为关注的焦点。
紧随第二次世界大战之后所产生的城市人口密度突增和工业化进程的加剧,都使得水污染问题越见明显。
致使对于水污染的关注程度在70年代中期达到了顶峰。
水污染是一个不准确的术语,它并未指出污染物的种类和来源。
而我们处理废水问题的方式往往取决于以下几个方面:污染物是否需要氧气,是否助长藻类,是否有传染性,是否有毒,或者仅仅是否好看。
水源的污染可能直接来自生活污水的排放或工厂污水排放(点源),也可能间接地由空气污染、农业排水或城市排水(非点源)所引发。
化学上所谓的纯水仅仅是水分子的集合。
无论在野外的河流或湖泊、云层或雨水中,还是在下雪期间,极地的冰帽地区,这种物质在自然界均不能找到。
然而在实验室中可以制备非常纯净的水,但是存在一定的困难。
因为水极易接受和容纳外来物质。
城市污水,也被称作生活污水,是一种复杂的混合物。
它包含水(通常超过99%)以及悬浮或溶解的有机和无机污染物。
这些污染物的浓度通常很低并且以mg/L来表示,也就是说,每升混合物含有多少毫克污染物。
重量与体积比也常用来表示在水、废水、工业废水和其它稀释溶液中的污染物浓度。
微生物任何地方只要存在适合的食物,充足的湿度和适当的温度,微生物即可大量繁殖。
而生活污水为各种各样的微生物提供了一个理想的环境。
这些微生物主要是细菌,某些病毒和原生动物。
废水中的大多数微生物是无害的,并且可借助生化过程,将有机物转化为稳定的最终产物。
但是当一些人患有可通过有毒废水传播的传染性疾病时,其排泄物所携带的致病病原体,极有可能成为污水的组成部分。
虽然在发达国家,类似于水传播的细菌性疾病,例如霍乱、伤寒和肺结核,病毒性疾病例如传染性的肝炎和原生虫引起的痢疾,已经不再是问题,但是在那些经过适当处理过的污水不能被公共利用的地区仍然存在着很大威胁。
对于少量存在的病原体的检测是相当困难和耗时的。
其标准做法是检测存在于包括人类在内的(数十亿)热血动物肠胃中的有机物。
固体废水中的总固体(包括有机的和无机的)是指液体部分被蒸发,并且在103℃烘干至恒重的残余物。
区分可溶性固体和悬浮固体的方法,是通过蒸发过滤的和没有通过过滤的废水样品来进行的。
两种烘干样品质量的差值即表示悬浮物的质量。
将残留物在550℃温度下保持15分钟以进一步分类,剩余的灰代表了无机物,失去的挥发物则代表有机物的重量。
悬浮固体(SS)和挥发性的悬浮固体(VSS)是最有用的。
SS和BOD (生化需氧量)是废水的受污染程度及其过程性能的指标。
VSS可以指示废水中有机物的含量,也可以衡量在生化过程里活性的微生物群。
无机成分废水中常见的无机成分包括:1.氯化物和硫酸盐。
常见于人类排放的废水和废物中。
2.氮和磷。
以各种形式(有机的和无机的)存在于来自人类排放的废物,和含磷的清洁剂。
3.碳酸盐和碳酸氢盐。
通常以钙盐和镁盐的形式出现在水和废物中。
4.有毒物质。
砷,氰化物和在工业废水中可以找到的有毒无机物:Cd(镉)、Cr(铬)、Hg(汞)、Pb(铅)、Zn(锌)等重金属。
除了这些化学成分,溶解气体的浓度,尤其是氧气,用pH值所表示的H离子的浓度也是其它引起废水注意的指标。
有机物生活污水中的有机物90%是由蛋白质和碳水化合物组成。
这些可生物降解的物质包括人类的尿和排泄物、洗涤槽的食物残渣、土和洗澡的脏物、洗衣用水和洗烫水,及各种肥皂、洗洁精和其他清洁产品。
各种指标用来衡量废水中有机物浓度。
一种方法是基于废水中的有机碳的总量(即总有机碳TOC)。
总有机碳是由样品中有机碳被强氧化剂氧化成二氧化碳的数量与已知的总有机碳的标准数量的比较所决定的。
常见的另一种方法是根据把氧化物转化成稳定的最终产物所需要的氧气。
因为需氧量正比于污水中现存的氧化物,它可以用于废水浓度的相对衡量。
通常确定废水需氧量的两种方法是COD(化学需氧量)和BOD(生化需氧量)的测定。
化学需氧量,是用化学方法氧化有机物的需氧量。
而生化需氧量,是通过适应环境的微生物的以生物的方式降解废水中的有机物的需氧量。
在水污染控制理论中,生化需氧量是最重要的参数。
生化需氧量用于测定有机物污染,是评估生物反应需氧量的基础和反应过程的指标。
我们可以直接地测定水或者废水中的有机物含量(例如测定总有机碳),但是这并不能告诉我们有机物是否有被生物降解。
为了测定可生物降解的有机物量,我们用一种间接的方法,也就是在一个封闭的系统里,测定将有机物转化(氧化)成二氧化碳和水所用的生长的微生物群的耗氧量。
耗用的氧气,或生化需氧量,正比于有机物的转化量。
因此,生化需氧量是系统中生物降解有机物的相对衡量。
因为生物氧化过程可以无限次地进行,最终生化需氧量的测定被限定为20天,这个时间能够满足95%或以上的微生物氧气需求。
但是过程时间过长,致使生化需氧量的测定没有效用。
所以一种五天式的测定,即将水样置于20℃的黑暗环境五天,作为生化需氧量的标准。
生化需氧量的反应速度取决于存在的废水类型、温度以及假设其随着存在的有机物(有机碳)的数量的变化趋势。
Unit12水的净化水分子是没有记忆力的,所以谈论被污染和被净化的饮用水的次数是没意义的,例如分子的逐渐损耗。
而当我们饮水的时候到底它有多纯净才是最重要的。
水的净化已经发展为一项复杂的和尖端的技术。
然而,污水净化的本质的总方法是容易理解的,在某些情况下也是明显的。
水里面的杂质分类为悬浮的,胶体的,或者是溶解的。
悬浮的颗粒物是大得足够沉降下来或者可以被过滤掉的。
胶体的颗粒物和溶解的颗粒物是更难除去。
一是可以用某些方法使小的颗粒物结合起来变成大的颗粒物,然后把大的颗粒物作为悬浮物来进行处理。
二是可以把它们转换为气体,从水中排放到大气中。
不论采取哪一种方法,必须记住,提升水或用泵将水输送到通过过滤床都需要能量。
以上面原则作为依据,来考虑用来净化城市废水的程度。
第一步是收集系统。
水中的废物有各种各样的来源,例如家庭的,医院的,学校的含有食品的残余物,人类的排泄物,纸,肥皂,清洁剂,脏物,布,其他各种各样的杂物,当然还有微生物。
这种混合物就叫做生活污水。
(“生活污水”这个形容词是很不合适的,因为它没有描述污水的情况;它可能是指那些废物排放出来的地方)。
这些污水有时跟商业建筑废水,工业废水和雨水混合在一起,一同流进废水的管路网络里面去。
某些系统将雨水和生活污水分开,另一些系统又将两者结合起来。
结合的网络式是比较便宜的,而且适合干燥的天气,但在暴雨时,总的体积很容易超过污水处理厂的容量,所以某些水就允许溢流出去和直接排放到河流里面去。
初级处理当生活污水到达污水处理厂时,它首先通过一系列的滤网以除去如老鼠,葡萄柚似的大物体,和在接下来的处理时期里,通过一架磨碾机以减少剩下的物体的尺寸使其足够小能有效地被处理。
下一步是设置一系列的沉淀池以除去初始的粗沙,例如雨水从路面带进的沙子,然后,慢慢地任何其它的悬浮固体—包括在一个小时能沉淀下来的有机营养物。
直到这个阶段,称为初级处理,相对地便宜但并未完成净化的程度。
二级处理接下来的一系列步骤,是设计通过加速生化作用的某种形式来较大程度地减少溶解的或微小的悬浮有机物。
分解需要氧气和微生物以及一种两者都易接近营养物的环境。
达到这个目标的一种装置是滴滤池。
这种装置,长管在由岩石填充而成的滤床上缓慢的旋转,通过持续地喷洒来分布这些污水。
另一个技术是活性污泥过程。
废水,经过初级处理后,泵到一个混合空气和含有细菌的污泥几个小时的曝气池。
生化作用与发生在滴滤池的相似。
污泥中的细菌代谢转化成有机氧物;原生虫,作为二级消费者,吃掉细菌。
处理过的水流到一个含有细菌的固体沉降的沉淀池去,然后返回到曝气池。
某些污泥必须被排放以维持一个稳定的状态。
相对滴滤池来说,活性污泥需要占地少的面积,因为它需要曝气较小的面积,没有发出臭味。
生化处理所排放的废水仍然含有细菌,和不适合排放到清洁的水源,更不用说饮用。
因为微生物完成其工作,现在就可以杀死他们了。
最后一步是消毒过程,一般是加氯。
氯气,在最后排放前加入到排水15至30分钟,就可以杀灭99%以上的有害细菌。
三级或高级处理尽管此时的废水已经通过初级和二级处理,得到了相当大程度的净化,但是这些处理仍然不合适应对某些水污染的复杂方面。
首先,生活污水里面有很多污染物是不能清除的。
无机的离子,例如硝酸盐和磷酸盐,仍然在处理过的水中;这些物质,正如我们所看到的,可以作为植物的营养物和水体的营养成分。
用于应付这些麻烦废水的处理方式是必需专门除去这类污染物,而且它们一般很昂贵。
如下描述几种这些技术。
1.混凝和沉淀正如在生物处理的讨论中我们早前提及的,将小的颗粒物转变成的大的能够快速沉淀的颗粒物是很有好处的。
所以它跟无机污染物同样道理。
各种各样的无机胶体颗粒是喜欢水的(亲水的)并且具有相当的粘附性;由于它们的粘附性它们一起带走很多其他难以在合理时间内沉降下来的胶体颗粒物。
这个过程被称为絮凝。
石灰,矾和某些铁盐都是这些所谓的絮凝剂。
2.吸附吸附是气体分子或液体分子粘附到固体表面的过程。
这个过程是具有选择性的—不同种类的分子以不同的方式粘附在任何固体。
对于净化水,那些有着大的表面积并且结合倾向于有机污染物的固体是必需的。
选择的物质是活性碳,它能够特别有效地除去产生令人讨厌的味道和臭味的化学品。
这些化学品包括那些难以生物降解的氯代烃。
3.其他氧化剂高锰酸钾和臭氧用于氧化那些抵抗空气中微生物的氧化的水中废物。
臭氧有一个很重要的优点就是它仅存的副产物是氧气。
4.反渗透渗透是一个水通过一种不透过溶解离子的膜的过程。
在正常的过程中,系统倾向于一个平衡状态,在这个平衡状态中膜的两边的浓度是相同的。
这意味着水从纯净的一边流到富集污染物的一边。
这并不是我们所希望的,因为这个过程增加了被污染的水的数量。
然而,假如高压是加到富集污染物的一边,这个过程可被逆转,纯净水就被挤压通过这个膜,并且这样就除去了溶解的离子或者其他溶解的污染物。
Unit13污水处理工艺现代科技最伟大的成就之一既是在很大程度上减少了水传染性疾病如霍乱和伤寒的发生率。
这些病已不再像过去那样是公众健康最大的危险。
其发展的关键在于认识到公用水域是人为污染主要传染源。
但是这种污染可以通过更有效地水处理工艺和更好的废水处置方法来消除。
今天的水工艺设备是为连续供应可持续饮用水而设计的。
完成整个过程需要注意四个重要问题:水源的选择、水质的保护,工艺方法的使用以及再污染的防治。
而阻止地下水和地表水污染常用的预防措施是,禁止排放生活排污和雨水的下水道接近水库,安装栅栏以防止保护娱乐用水被污染,还有就是在水库注水后限制使用肥料和杀虫剂。
