Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Anaerobic
Anaerobic is a technical word which literally means without air (where "air" is generally used to mean oxygen), as opposed to aerobic. In wastewater treatment the absence of oxygen is indicated as anoxic; and anaerobic is used to indicate the absence of any electron acceptor (nitrate, sulfate or oxygen). An anaerobic adhesive is a bonding agent that does not cure in the presence of air.
