Water filter

go in order to get the tank where it is today. The first step in starting a tank is to use the most pure water that is obtainable called reverse osmosis water that is nearly 100% pure. This is normal tap water that is filtered through fiber cartridge filters, activated carbon, reverse osmosis membrane and then is ran through two sets of UV sterilizers. Once the tank is full of the pure water, the levels of different minerals and trace elements must be added to make it able to accommodate…

Trees absorb odours and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulphur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark. An apple tree can yield up to 15-20 bushels of fruit per year and can be planted on the tiniest urban lot. Aside from fruit for humans, trees provide food for birds and wildlife. On hillsides or stream slopes, trees slow water runoff and hold soil in place. Neighbourhoods and homes that are barren have shown to have a…

because of suggested methane leaks, that are eliminating the positive effects of naturally occurring greenhouse gases. Due to the high-impact hydraulic fracturing of the Earth’s crust, water contamination of nearby water tables has been recorded, leading to poor tap water quality, and because of the high amount of water required for fracking operations, it diminishes the availability for recreational use. In 2015, about 19.4 million barrels…

The water quality of the U-High Creek was identified as excellent, but not all bodies of water have excellent water quality. Humans can pollute water in many ways, and make it unsuitable for organisms living in the water. One way humans can pollute water is when farmers put pesticides and fertilizers on their crops, which contain harmful chemicals like phosphates and Nitrates. When it rains, the pesticides get washed away through the soil and end up in rivers, streams, and creeks, therefore…

facility the oysters are further cared for and developed, getting ready for shipping and transporting to various markets. This oyster farm makes use of recirculation systems, which uses plenty of energy in order to pump water through its system. So the use of energy is more than the water use, due to the recirculation…

"Wouldn't we suffocate outside of water?" "No, because I have created the first reverse scuba suit!" And there it was(Again?). A fish sized suit of, what looked like a stainless steel fish with a water tank strapped onto the back. “Aw sweet!” said Jimio as he inspected the suit. “But where’d you get it Daniel?” “Well I stole it of course. From The Guy with Weird…

1 mole of calcium chloride reacts with 1 mole of sodium carbonate and yields the product sodium chloride and calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water hence, it will produce precipitates when the reaction occurs. The reagent with fewest numbers of moles in this reaction will be considered as the limiting reagent. The reagent which has more moles than required and is left at the end of the reaction…

There are no doubt many threats to our oceans and waterways at this point in time. However there is one major threat to water quality that humans are responsible for. When we burn fossil fuel, there are many gaseous compounds released into the atmosphere. Doesn’t sound that bad does it? However, when some of these compounded gases react with water, the water is now acidic. The gas that is produced when burning these fuels is carbon dioxide (CO2). Ocean acidification is when carbon dioxide…

bottled water to have hard water as compared to the Dasani and tap water. Fiji water had the highest chlorine content, double that of tap water. Tap water and Dasani water had higher alkaline than the Fiji water. The tap water rated highest on the phosphate content test followed by Dasani with half as much phosphates followed by Fiji having the lowest phosphates. The iron test showed all three samples with small amounts of iron. Fiji water had the highest pH levels followed by tap water than…

The cinnamaldehyde and water distillate was obtained from the previous lab session and was observed for changes. The oil was on the bottom of the flask. The distillate turned clear when initially it was white. The distillate still had a cinnamon smell. The cinnamaldehyde was now to be extracted from water using an organic solvent. To choose the right solvent for the experiment, the organic solvent must meet certain criteria. It must be miscible with the substance extracted (in this case,…
