“Should “water phase” be translated as “aqueous phase”? How to translate it as “water phase” in some literature (written by Chinese people)? This post was last edited by solar3124 on 2009-3-3 12:45.]
The term “water phase” aqueous is commonly used: meaning something that is like water, water-based
Water = WATER; Aqueous solution = aqueous (NOT PURE WATER)
In the term “water phase,” the medium in question is water; whereas “aqueous” simply refers to something that is like water, such as an aqueous solution.
water phase
May I ask what is the difference between the liquid phase and the aqueous phase? As far as I know, the liquid phase is LIQUID-PHASE! ! !
Both translations are correct; the correct answer is aqueous phase
Aqueous phase: The homogeneous part of a heterogeneous system that consists of water or a solution in water of a substance. It refers to the water-based component in a system that comprises two liquid phases, one of which is primarily water and the other being a liquid that is immiscible with water. There are no entries for “water phase” on these websites; I assume it’s not as commonly used as “aqueous phase,” though both terms refer to the water or water-solution phase
Thank you all for participating! Agree with the explanation on floor 8; \"water phase\" might be Chinglish, while \"aqueous phase\" is more standard.
In response to the question from floor 6, there is certainly a difference between liquid phases and water; sometimes, during extraction, there are also organic phases and oil phases, but they are all liquid phases that need to be separated from the aqueous phase!
Really impressive; I didn’t expect everyone to not only have good English skills but also be highly proficient in their fields
Isn’t the organic phase the oily phase? I hope to participate in the discussion in a calm manner! In any group of three, there is always someone I can learn from! :lol
It must be the aqueous phase; in industries such as petroleum, level control systems specifically distinguish between controlling the aqueous level and the liquid level. The water phase does not appear in international literature.
Aqueous phase: aqueous phase； hydrofacies ； hydrofacies
\"Water phase\" is a term that appears frequently in the English versions of Chinese abstracts; therefore, the original poster will come across it. If one wants to publish articles in China, using this term isn’t a problem. \"Aqueous\" refers to an aqueous solution, while \"water phase\" is a more formal expression. Chinese-style English is sometimes accepted by people in China as well: lol
aqueous phase:) :)
