Wiktionary examples

These source excerpts show how hydrolyse appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.

  1. La persistance et la dégradabilité correspondent au potentiel de dégradation de la substance ou des substances pertinentes d’un mélange dans l’environnement, soit par biodégradation, soit par d’autres processus, tels que l’oxydation ou l’hydrolyse.
  2. C’est dans les pays chauds que l’hydrolyse est la plus rapide, grâce aux températures élevées qui favorisent l’altération chimique par hydrolyse : les constituants minéraux sont en effet tous libérés et permettent des conditions optimales pour la recombinaison par recristallisation plus ou moins poussée et l’apparition d’argiles néoformées (figure 3.7).
