Why is Sulphuric Acid transported in road tankers and not by train?
train contain to much static electricity due to its metallic body but trucks a truck discharges the static electricity to the earth, so if sulphuric acid is transported by train that would cause an explosion due the reaction of sulphuric acid and static electricity
"Bio" comes from the Greek word for "Life". A hazardous substance or activity is one which endangers life. The workers in chemical plants have to be very careful and strict in their work. You see warning plates on the backs of tankers and lorries which are carrying hazardous substances. So you see that bio + hazardous" means life + danger" = dangerous for living things.
trains only go to certain places where as tankers cars ect... go to anywhere you drive them to. also if the acid was to leak on a train if would create more damage and it would cost more to repay for and also trains are very wobbly so it is more likely to spill
Road transportation is the safest way to get the chemicals from the plants that manufacture them to the processing plants that use them. They are DOT approved and inspected by authorized inspection facilities and personnel.
