Wastewater treatment systems can be classified, in addition to pretreatment, as preliminary, primary, secondary, and tertiary (advanced) treatments. Pretreatment of industrial wastewater is required to prevent adverse effects on the municipal wastewater treatment plants. Preliminary treatment is considered as any physical or chemical process that precedes primary treatment. The preliminary treatment processes may consist of influent screening and grit removal. Its function is mainly to protect subsequent treatment units and to minimize operational problems. Primary treatment is defined as the physical or chemical treatment for the removal of settleable and floatable materials. The screened, degritted raw wastewater from preliminary treatment flows to the primary clarification tanks, which are part of the primary treatment facilities. Secondary wastewater treatment is the process that uses biological and chemical treatment to accomplish substantial removal of dissolved organics and colloidal materials. The secondary treatment facilities may be comprised of biological reactor and secondary clarification basins. Tertiary (advanced) wastewater treatment is used to achieve pollutant reductions by methods other than those used in primary and secondary treatments. The objective of tertiary wastewater treatment is to improve the overall removal of suspended solids, organic matter, dissolved solids, toxic substances, and nutrients.

Figure 1.12 shows the areal distribution of the B and C sub-type deposits in the Kosaka district. The Y sub-type deposits have not yet been found in the district. It appears that two zones characterized by the distribution of each sub-type deposit are distributed north-southernly in the Kosaka district as well as in the Hanaoka district (Fig. 1.13). Pyroclastic rocks in the Kosaka formation, in which all deposits occur, become thicker to the east, and probably moved from the eruptive centres to the east (Horikoshi, 1969). These types of evidence may indicate that the sea at that time became deeper to the east. Figure 1.12 shows also the top of the pre-Tertiary basements. Ore deposits, either B or C sub-type, occur above the crater-like depressions of basements. The Shinsawa deposit is the sole example of B sub-type in the midst of the Hanaoka-Kosaka district, so-called Hokuroku basin (Fig. 1.13). The Tsunokakezawa deposit in the Fukazawa mine and ore deposit in the Ezuri mine are also the B sub-type.

The reaction of seawater with country rocks is also a possible but unlikely explanation. Tertiary volcanic sediments in the vicinity of Kuroko deposits are altered and tend to have lost both Ca and Sr (Farrell and Holland, 1983). The ratio of Sr loss to Ca loss is roughly equal to the Sr/Ca ratio in seawater. If seawater was the altering medium, its Sr/Ca ratio was probably not strongly affected by the alteration process. The 87sr/86si- ratio would be intermediate between an initial value of 0.7088 and ca. 0.740 — the Sr/ Sr ratio of unaltered Tertiary volcanics of the Hokuroku basin. It is unlikely, therefore, that this type of alteration can account for the Sr content and for the isotopic composition of Sr in the anhydrites at the upper end of the trend line in Fig. 1.49. On the other hand, mixing of seawater with solutions which have a Sr/Ca ratio much smaller than that of seawater could have led to the deposition of Kuroko anhydrites. 

Intense submarine and subaerial volcanic activities during the Tertiary at Green tuff regions took place not only at the Japan Sea but also at marginal basins in the circum-Pacific Region. 

In Chapter 3, hydrothermal and volcanic gas fluxes from submarine back-arc basins and island arc are estimated. These fluxes are compared with midoceanic ridge hydrothermal fluxes. Particularly, hydrothermal flux of CO2 is considered and the influences of this flux on global long-term carbon cycle and climate change in Tertiary-Quaternary ages are discussed in Chapter 4. 

The maximum salinities in the Tertiary section of the Gulf of Mexico basin (the most extensively used strata for deep-well injection) reach almost four times that of seawater. The Michigan basin has the highest salinity, reaching 400,000 mg/L TDS, more than 11 times that of seawater. In Florida, however, where seawater circulates through the Floridan aquifer, maximum salinities tend to be controlled by the salinity of the seawater.79... 

In addition to the Permian coals there are occurrences of Mesozoic and Tertiary coals in Australia. Mesozoic coals occur in small basins in South Australia, Tasmania, New South Wales and Queensland and vary in rank from brown to bituminous. Perhaps the most notable occurrences in the present context are the Walloon coals in the Clarence-Morton basin in Queensland, e.g. Millmerran bituminous coal (78% carbon, vitrinite plus exinite 90%). ... 

Sediments of Tertiary and Quaternary age, including volcanic ash and aeolian materials, make up the parent material of the soils. In the more arid parts of the Andean System (the coastal plain of Peru and Chile, and the Altiplano of Bolivia) the topography is level. The Altiplano is a very large closed basin with numerous salt flats. In northwestern Argentina, the planar topography is broken by mountains composed of Precambrian rocks and Quaternary sediments. 

In the Ural-Sakmara basin, total Cu is 60-70 mg/kg in chernozems on secondary sediments. Chestnut soils on weathered basic rocks in the Or-Kumak basin contain higher Cu (88-96 mg/kg). The average Pb concentrations are 11-25 mg/kg in chernozems derived from serpentinite and secondary/tertiary sediments of the Ural-Sakmara basin. Soils in the Ural-Sakmara basin on serpentinite contain 133 mg/kg total Ni.

Although sepiolite-palygorskite occur frequently in closed basin, evaporite or lake deposits, these minerals are also known in Tertiary and late Paleozoic deep sea, shelf and shallow sea deposits. They have also been reported with persistent frequence by French clay mineralogists in Mesozoic and Tertiary saline and carbonate deposits (Millot, 1964). 

Was this your answer Primary treatment uses settling basins to remove the bulk of solid waste and sludge from sewage effluent. Secondary treatment uses aeration to decrease effluent BOD.Tertiary treatment removes pathogens and wastes not removed by eariieT treatments by filtering effluent through powdered carbon or other fine particles. 

A final example comes from the Nima basin located 450 km northwest of Lhasa at about 4500 m, in the southern part of the Bangong suture zone, which separates the Qiangtang and Lhasa terranes in central Tibet (Fig. lb). The southern Nima basin contains more than 4 km of Tertiary alluvial, lacustrine, and lacustrine fan-delta deposits that accumulated next...
