suspended matter

The pilot explained this was suspended matter in the water.

Some success is now claimed for the 'magnetic' water treatment units which have the same effect on suspended matter.

The amount of suspended matter brought down by erosion is correspondingly great.

Bacteria and suspended matter stick to the surface mat as water passes through.

The lake's water has excessive amounts of phosphorus, algae and suspended matter.

Turbidity is a measure of the light scattering ability of suspended matter in the water.

Sand filtration removes much of the residual suspended matter.

Often as not it has to make several passes through the gravel before all of the suspended matter is finally trapped in the gravel.

In large, crowded areas, brittle stars eat suspended matter from prevailing seafloor currents.

Sediments are picked up by the run-off and carried as suspended matter or bed-load.

The slow movement in these storage basins allows some of the suspended matter to settle out, and the clarified water is taken for use.

Sedimentation fouling by silt and other relatively coarse suspended matter.

The filter catches all remaining suspended matter.

Isinglass is used as a fining agent for settling out suspended matter in the vat.

Iron pipes, even though galvanized when new, may show internal corrosion, and this can produce rust as suspended matter.

Fit a powerhead and the water and suspended matter is drawn into the gravel in the same manner, but a with much stronger force.

Forage fish are usually filter feeders, meaning that they feed by straining suspended matter and food particles from water.

Light scattering by suspended matter is required in order that the blue light produced by water's absorption can return to the surface and be observed.

But these are turbid waters, thick with suspended matter, and go far deeper than Larkin's admittedly preternatural indolence.

Condensate polishing typically involves ion exchange technology for the removal of trace dissolved minerals and suspended matter.

MLSS consists mostly of microorganisms and non-biodegradable suspended matter.

Many small rocks and white chunks of broken coral rolled about the tube's bottom in murky water full of sand and other suspended matter.

In natural waters, colour is often difficult to dissociate from turbidity, and any measurements must be made on samples that are substantially free from suspended matter.

The water is seldom optimally clear, and the dissolved and suspended matter can reduce visibility by both absorption and scattering of light.

With each sweep of the scanner, the sparkle of interference faded; the water was still turbid, but no longer full of suspended matter.
