Terms for subject Environment (5842 entries)
katılım participation (The act of sharing or taking part in a civic, community or public action)
katalitik dönüştürücü catalytic converter (Catalytic converters are designed to clean up the exhaust fumes from petrol-driven vehicles, which are otherwise the major threat to air quality standards in congested urban streets and on motorways. Converters remove carbon monoxide, the unburned hydrocarbons and the oxides of nitrogen. These compounds are damaging to human health and the environment in a variety of ways. The converter is attached to the vehicle' s exhaust near the engine. Exhaust gases pass through the cellular ceramic substrate, a honeycomb-like filter. While compact, the intricate honeycomb structure provides a surface area of 23.000 square metres. This is coated with a thin layer of platinum, palladium and rhodium metals, which act as catalysts that simulate a reaction to changes in the chemical composition of the gases. Platinum and palladium convert hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and water vapour. Rhodium changes nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons into nitrogen and water, which are harmless)
kataliz catalysis (A phenomenon in which a relatively small amount of substance augments the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed)
katalizör catalyst (A substance whose presence alters the rate at which a chemical reaction proceeds, but whose own composition remains unchanged by the reaction. Catalysts are usually employed to accelerate reactions(positive catalyst), but retarding (negative) catalysts are also used)
katamaran twin-hull craft (Oil tank vessels provided with a double-hull to meet the regulatory safety requirements in oil transportation. Requirements include minimum values for depths and breadth of double bottoms. Also called double-hull tank vessel)
katkı maddesi additive (Substances mixed in small quantities with another product to modify its chemical or physical state. Additives are used to make food look visually more attractive, in the case of colouring agents, as well as to preserve and extend the life of the product)
katmanlaşma stratification (The arrangement of a body of water, as a lake, into two or more horizontal layers of different characteristics, especially densities)
katran tar (A viscous material composed of complex, high-molecular-weight, compounds derived from the distillation of petroleum or the destructive distillation of wood or coal)
katran kullanımı tar use (Any employment or utilization of dark, heavy, viscous substances or residue derived from the distillation of certain organic materials, often to produce benzene, soap, dyes, cosmetics and other products)
katran kumu tar sand (A sandstone in which hydrocarbons have been trapped; the lighter compounds evaporate, leaving a residue of asphalt in the rock pores)
katran üretimi tar production (The manufacture of dark, heavy, viscous substances or residue, which is obtained by the distillation of organic materials such as coal, wood and petroleum)
katyon cation (A positively charged atom or group of atoms, or a radical which moves to the negative pole (cathode) during electrolysis)
kauçuk rubber (A cream to dark brown elastic material obtained by coagulating and drying the latex from certain plants, especially the rubber tree)
kauçuk atık rubber waste (Any refuse or unwanted material made of synthetic or natural rubber, often the byproduct of rubber processing)
kauçuk işleme rubber processing (The systematic series of actions in which a solid substance deriving from rubber trees and plants is toughened and treated chemically to give it the strength, elasticity, resistance and other qualities needed for the manufacture of products such as erasers, elastic bands, water hoses, electrical insulation and tires)
kauçuk işleme sanayi rubber processing industry (A sector of the economy in which an aggregate of commercial enterprises is engaged in the manufacture and marketing of natural or synthetic rubber products)
kayıp loss (The result of a business operation where overhead costs are greater than the receipts or income)
kayıt zorunluluğu registration obligation (The duty to formally enroll with a government agency or an authority in order to be granted certain rights, particularly trademark or copyright privileges, or the permission to sell and distribute a product)
kayıtların incelenmesi inspection of records
kaya rock (Any aggregate of minerals that makes up part of the earth's crust. It may be unconsolidated, such as sand, clay, or mud, or consolidated, such as granite, limestone, or coal)
