2000 B.C - The first recorded (The Susruta Samhita, Sanskrit writing) water purification began with the Egyptians. It is said that impure water should be boiled over a fire, heated in the sun, have a hot iron dipped into it or purified by filtration through sand and course gravel.
A major step in the development of desalination technologies came in the 1940s during World War II when various m
1. Introduction
1) Definition of preservation and food-spoilage micro-organisms
Food preservation is the process of treating and handling food to stop or greatly slow down spoilage (loss of quality, edibility or nutritive value) caused or accelerated by micro-organisms. Some methods, however, use benign bacteria, yeasts or fungi to add specific qualities and to preserve food (e.g., cheese, wine
2.3 Methods used for restoration
Firstly, a water purification system using gravel contact oxidation process was installed to clean the water. The system located in Young-dong 2 gyo was the first to utilize the gravel contact oxidation process in Korea. It uses a media like gravel and artificially maximize the natural purification process like precipitation, absorption and decomposition by
II. How is CBM formed
Coalbed methane (CH4) forms in one of two ways. During the earliest stage of coalification (the process that turns plant detritus into coal), biogenic methane is generated as a by-product of bacterial respiration. Aerobic bacteria (those that use oxygen in respiration) first metabolize any free oxygen left in the plant remains and the surrounding sediments. In fresh water
Water stress results from an imbalance between water use and water resources. The water stress indicator in this map measures the proportion of water withdrawal with respect to total renewable resources. It is a criticality ratio, which implies that water stress depends on the variability of resources. Water stress causes deterioration of fresh water resources in terms of quantity (aquifer over-e
