Answer:

Explanation:

The main goal of secondary treatment is the further treatment of the liquid waste from primary treatment to remove the residual organics and suspended solids. Most times, secondary treatment follows primary treatment and involves the removal of biodegradable dissolved and colloidal organic matter using aerobic biological treatment processes. Aerobic biological treatment as the name implies, it is performed in the presence of oxygen by aerobic microorganisms (principally bacteria) that metabolize the organic matter in the wastewater, thereby producing more microorganisms and inorganic end-products majorly CO2, NH3, and H2O.

Answer:

A wastewater treatment plant serves to evacuate solids, reducing organic matter and present pollutants, thus restoring oxygen. Bacteria and other microorganisms are used to reduce organic matter and pollutants, so that they consume the organic matter present in the waste water.

The primary purpose of secondary treatment is to improve the process so that at least 90% of all contaminants are evacuated. The equipment used for this purpose is an aeration tank, which supplies large amounts of air to a mixture of wastewater, bacteria and microorganisms. The oxygen found in the injected air increases the growth of microorganisms, so that they consume the organic matter found in the waste water.

Metals have high melting and boiling points and are often shiny and silvery. Which of the blocks are metals?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

S and p blocks elements are considered metals while d-block elements are considered transition metals.    

Explanation:

s-block consist of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium metals.

All are these called alkali metals.

These metals have one valance electron.

These metals are soft and having low density.

They easily lose their one valance electron and form cation with +1 charge.

They have low melting points.

P- block elements includes beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, radium metals.

They are called alkaline earth metals.

All are these have two valance electrons.

They easily lose their valance electrons and form cation with charge of +2.

These metals are also very soft.

They form salt with halogens.

They are also very reactive metals.
