Brief introduction in English

At present, our country increasingly attaches importance to the environmental protection with the policy of sustainable development gradually striking root in the hearts of the people. The country’s increasing investment on the environmental protection promotes the unprecedented development of the communication with inside and outside country, we are anxious for rather systemic English study. It is help for teaching and research-guiding of the undergraduates and postgraduates.

English on environmental engineering is the specialty elective for the environmental engineering students. The main aim of the course is the to know the situation of environmental engineering field. On the other hand , the student must confer and imitate when writing.

English on Environmental Engineering consists of four parts. The first part introduces the essential content of the environmental science and engineering; the environmental protection policies and development in China; the environmental protection policies and laws in other counties, especially in the United States. The second part enumerates some principal environmental problems the human beings are facing, including air pollution, water pollution ,sharp fall of forests and extinction of wildlife. The third part of this course select some techniques and technology of the disposal of contamination. The last part is about the writing article in English, especially the abstract in English.

emissions、The concept of using microorganisms for the removal of environmentally undesirable compounds by biodegradation has been well established in the area of wastewater treatment for several decades.、The principal reasons why biofiltration is not presently well recognized in the U.S、The major objective of the present paper is to provide a comprehensive review of important aspects of biofiotration in order to more widely disseminate about this innovative APC technology, and to encourage its implementation where appropriate in the U.S.、While soil beds have been shown to control certain types of odors and VOC efficiently and at fairly low capital and operating cost, their use in the U.S. has been limited by the low biodegragation capacity of soils and correspondingly large space requirements for the beds. It is estimated that the total number of biofilter and soil bed installations in the U.S. and Canada is currently less than 50 and that they are predominantly used for odor control.

Bacteria are classified according to their optimum temperature range for growth.、Municipal waste waters commonly contain sufficient concentrations of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace nutrient to support the growth of a microbial culture.、Diffused and mechanical aeration basins must supply sufficient air to maintain dissolved oxygen for the biota to use in metabolizing the waste organics. Hydrogen ion concentration has a direct influence on biological treatment systems which operate best in a neutral environment.、Biological treatment systems are inhibited by toxic substances.
