Document Summary
Miniquiz questions and answers chapter 22. 3-22. 7 (lecture 16) The reduced form of uranium becomes immobilized in soils. Uranium can"t be degraded so this is your best option. Because the oil spill is already providing a carbon source in excess, inorganic nutrients are limited. Aerobic dechlorination: chlorinated xenobiotics can often be degraded to co2, releasing harmless chloride ions in the process. Poly-hydroxybutyrate is a carbon storage polymer of bacteria that may serve as an alternative to traditional plastics. Bod = the microbial oxygen-consuming capacity of a body of water. If there"s low bod that means there"s low carbon in your water that you"re trying to purify (good job) Primary you"re just physically separating out the solid/particulate matter. Secondary treatment you"re using microbes to decrease the amount of organic matter. Activated sludge can be used as fertilizer, or used again in treated a new batch of water.
