Weathering processes involving reducing

Computer simulation of the weathering processes involving reducing environments. [Pg.39]

There is always some type of risk involved in a manufacturing facility. Risk is the possibility of loss or injury. Safety considerations are involved early in the design phase of a new plant to eliminate risk. Hazards are identified and plans designed to reduce or remove them. Emergency planning takes into account floods, hurricanes, inclement weather, evacuation routes, and the location of hazardous units. For example, in designing a new plant, the most hazardous process units would be located away from the most traveled and populated area of the plant. [Pg.130]

Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants. The loss of water vapour from the plant cools the plant down when the weather is very hot, and water from the stem and roots moves upwards or is pulled into the leaves. When less water is available for the plants, dehydrated mesophyll cells release the plant hormone abscisic acid, which causes the stomatal pores to close and reduce the loss of water during release of oxygen and intake of carbon dioxide. Fig. 2.7 (a) shows the transpiration effect in plants with open and closed stomata. [Pg.37]
