n: the introduction of air or gas into a liquid.
wines are aerated during the winemaking process when they are poured from one barrel to another, in order to introduce oxygen and help them soften. Wines are also aerated by decanting and swirling in the glass.
In the soil, as in compost, air is necessary for most beneficial soil organisms, providing them with the oxygen and nitrogen. Roots, like microorganisms, must also breath and would be suffocated without air. Aerated soil allows for the easy flow of air around soil particles. In addition, the pockets and channels that allow the air to circulate also allow water to reach a greater percentage of soil particles. Working the soil when it is not too dry or wet will help aerate it; double digging is particularly effective. Adding organic material is also helpful, as it helps to break up soils heavy in clay.
Exposure of material to air so that dissolved gases are removed; the process by which air is added to a substance.
The loosening of soil by digging or other mechanical means to allow air to pass freely.
a manual process of punching holes in the soil to allow air and gases in to be exchanged.
air stripping; a water treatment process that uses forced air to remove volatile contaminants from water.
Exposing water to the air; often results in the release into the atmosphere of gaseous impurities found in polluted water.
A process of maintaining the oxygen level of the water by pushing air bubbles up through it.
Allowing more air into by loosening the soil.
The loosening of soil to allow air movement.
Loosening compacted soil to allow air to circulate. It also applies to lawns when a fork or other implement is used to stab holes in it, also to allow air in.
to put a gas or air into a liquid under pressure
a process used in wastewater treatment that promotes biological degradation of organic matter in water. The process can be passive (waste is exposed to air), or active (a mixing or bubbling device introduces oxygen).
the process of mixing air into a solution so as to allow atmospheric gases to dissolve into the solution through direct contact, stirring, forced injection, or other means.
The process of bubbling air through water or wastewater to remove impurities.
Exposure to mechanical or chemical action of air; charged with carbonic gas.
Getting oxygen into the water, usually by disturbing the surface.
Lightening materials or ingredients by incorporating air. Aesthetics the area of design concerned with making products look attractive
Intimate contact of the atmosphere and water to add air (oxygen) to the water. The term is also applied to gas stripping where an undesirable gas is removed from the water. See gas stripping.
The process of mixing air and water. In a spa this can happen two ways: 1) Using an Air Blower to force air into an air channel or through the spa jets. 2) With Venturi Air Controls which allow air to be pulled into and mixed with the water in the spa jet.
The process which allows the wine to absorb oxygen. Decanting the wine or swirling it in a glass will allow the wine to breathe, therefore helping it to open up and develop. The oxygen will allow the wine to release its aromas and give off scents developed in the bottle.
A water treatment process that mixes water with air in a chamber or tower filled with packing material to disperse the water, allowing for sufficient contact time. As the water trickles down over the material, air is passed upward, removing the contaminants from the water. Aeration is effective at removing volatile organic compounds.
The exhange of air in the pore spaces of the soil with the air in the atmosphere.
the process of exposing to air (so as to purify)
the act of charging a liquid with a gas making it effervescent
To increase the amount of air space in the soil by tilling or otherwise loosening the soil.
Air ventilation of soil that enables bacteria and fungi to break down organic matter; essential for healthy plant growth.
when a large amount of air is pumped into or through water
To supply with air or expose to the circulation of air. show...
Technique that is used with water treatment that demands oxygen supply, commonly known as aerobic biological water purification. Either water is brought into contact with water droplets by spraying or air is brought into contact with water by means of aeration facilities. Air is pressed through a body of water by bubbling and the water is supplied with oxygen.
the process of adding pure oxygen or air into water for the purpose of increasing the dissolved oxygen content.
process of blowing air (or another gas such as carbon dioxide) through a liquid or solid
A technique by which air is introduced into a liquid, bubbles and aerosols are generated, and dissolved gases are released. For example, water aerated by passage through a shower head will release dissolved radon gas.
During mixing, the process of putting air into a mixture. Depending on your application, this may or may not be a desired effect.
A process that promotes breakdown of contaminants in soil or water by exposing them to air.
The process or method of bringing about intimate contact between air and a liquid.
supplying growing mediums and roots with air or oxygen.
To supply or impregnate liquid with air.
Allowing a wine to come in contact with the air (oxygen) to let younger wines open up. There is debate among wine experts and drinkers alike as to whether letting wines 'breathe' improves them. Young tannic wines can often be softened with exposure to oxygen. Older, mature wines can quickly lose their bouquet and aroma when exposed to air.
The process of adding air. In wastewater treatment, air is added to freshen wastewater and to keep solids in suspension. With mixtures of wastewater and activated sludge, adding air provides mixing and oxygen for the microorganisms treating the wastewater.
Action to increase air in the soil. Normally performed with a tined 'aerating' tool
the addition of air to water. It lets gases trapped in the water escape and adds oxygen to the water, as in the first step of drinking water treatment.
Supplying oxygen to the soil by digging; or, for a lawn, by using a spiked tool to punch holes in the sod and thatch.
The penetration of the soil profile, resulting in soil air being replaced by air from the atmosphere. This helps to improve drainage and encourages deeper rooting of grasses.
exposing to circulating air; addition of oxygen to wastewater or water, as in first step of both activated sludge wastewater treatment process and drinking water treatment.
Any process where a substance becomes permeated with air or another gas. The terms is usually applied to aqueous liquids being brought into intimate contact with air by spraying, bubbling or agitating the liquid.
The process of being supplied or impregnated with air.
There are many ways to Aerate a lawn. The most common is to poke small holes over the entire surface of the lawn. The object is to loosen the soil and to allow water, air and nutrients easier access to the roots of the lawn.
The addition of air or oxygen to water or wastewater, usually by mechanical means, to increase dissolved oxygen levels and maintain aerobic conditions.
The introduction of oxygen into a contaminated liquid, which creates gases that are then released.
drilling holes or pumping air into root zones to overcome compaction or improve water movement.
Compare? The act of mixing a liquid with air (oxygen).
Letting wine breathe in a glass or bottle; the process of swirling wine in a glass to allow it to "open up" due to exposure to air.
A process causing intimate contact between air and a liquid by one or more of the following methods: (a) spraying the liquid in the air, (b) bubbling air through the liquid, and (c) agitating the liquid to promote absorption of oxygen through the air liquid interface.
Allowing wine to interact with the air, thereby encouraging the release of its aromas
(1) Exposing to the action of air. (2) Causing air to bubble through. (3) Introducing air into a solution by spraying, stirring, or a similar method. (4) Supplying or infusing with air, as in sand or soil.
The process of letting wine ‘breathe', usually by opening the bottle about 20 minutes before you go to drink it or transferring to a decanter. Benefited mostly by younger red wines where tannins may need to soften a little.
supplying the lawn soil with air by poking uniform holes in the ground thus helping water and fertilizer move into the root zone
