Chapter 42 - Environmental Micro Flashcards
domestic sewage or liquid industrial waste
wastewater
most important source that can become contaminated and diseased
water
relies on industrial scale use of microbes for bioconversion
wastewater treatment
discharged treated waste water
effluent water
primary wastewater treatment is blank like screening
physical
primary treatment of water removes blank material and forms blank
solid, sludge
secondary treatment of water is blank like using microbes to digest dissolved organic matter
biological
when waste effluent is passed over rocks/solid materials with microbial biofilms
trickling filter
anyphysiochemical or biological process employing bioreactors, precipitation, filtration, or chlorination procedures
tertiary treatment
reduces amount of sludge produced by using microbial biomass for energy requirements
extended aeration
