  2. Aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium

    Acidic precipitation is the main natural factor to mobilize aluminium from natural sources [179] and the main reason for the environmental effects of aluminium; [206] however, the main factor of presence of aluminium in salt and freshwater are the industrial processes that also release aluminium into air. [179] In water, aluminium acts as a ...

  3. Irrigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation

    Water is delivered from below, absorbed by upwards, and the excess collected for recycling. Typically, a solution of water and nutrients floods a container or flows through a trough for a short period of time, 10–20 minutes, and is then pumped back into a holding tank for reuse. Sub-irrigation in greenhouses requires fairly sophisticated ...

  4. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

    The albedo of several types of roofs (lower values means higher temperatures). Reflective surfaces, or ground-based albedo modification (GBAM), is a solar radiation management method of enhancing Earth's albedo (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths of the Sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface).

  5. Greenhouse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse

    When the inside of a greenhouse is exposed to sunlight, the temperature increases, providing a sheltered environment for plants to grow even in cold weather. The terms greenhouse, glasshouse, and hothouse are often used interchangeably to refer to buildings used for cultivating plants. The specific term used depends on the material and heating ...

    Aluminium concentrations in young leaves, mature leaves, old leaves, and roots were found to be 8.0, 9.2, 14.4, and 10.1 mg g1, respectively. [ 3 ] Melastoma malabathricum L.

  7. AlGa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlGa

    The alloy can be reacted with water to form hydrogen gas(H2), aluminum hydroxide and gallium metal. [2] Normally, aluminum does not react with water, since it quickly reacts in air to form a passivation layer of aluminum oxide. AlGa alloy is able to create aluminum nanoparticles for the hydrogen producing reaction.

  9. Algaculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algaculture

    As the algae grow and multiply, the culture becomes so dense that it blocks light from reaching deeper into the water. Direct sunlight is too strong for most algae, which can use only about 1 ⁄ 10 the amount of light they receive from direct sunlight; however, exposing an algae culture to direct sunlight (rather than shading it) is often the ...
