What else can I help you with?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of petrochemicals on your environment?
Negatively effects health e.g. Toluene level A Carcinogen. Can seep into rivers damaging eco systems. Fossil fuel combustion emits carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels need to be mined- ruins environment. Factories need to be built- occupies land.
The energy in fossil fuels is often converted into?
I think it's electricity.
What are the raw materials used in petrochemical industry?
Main petrochemical material is a crude oil (petroleum itself). Some substituted for it are fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas, or renewable sources such as corn or sugar cane.
What is circulating fluidized bed boiler?
A circulating fluidized bed boiler helps to hold fuels in a solid states in upwards air jets when combustion occurs. This creates a mixture of unstable solids and gasses, which can promote chemical processing.
What type of combustion engine would you classify steam turbines used in power plants?
Steam turbines are external combustion engines.
What are the primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuels.?
Carbon Dioxide and water are the primary combustion products of fossil fuels.
Which element is required for the combustion of fossil fuels?
Oxygen is required for the combustion of fossil fuels. During combustion, the carbon and hydrogen in the fossil fuels react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat energy.
What does internal combustion run on?
Fossil fuels.
The combustion of fossil fuels causes the acidity of rain to increase because?
When there is a combustion of fossil fuels acid rain occurs from sulfuric, carbonic, and nitric acid. Fossil fuels may contain radioactive materials.
What is another name for burning fossil fuels?
Hydro-carbons is another name for fossil fuels.
The process of burning fossil fuels is known as?
it's known as combustion
Name three ways to minimize the negative effects to fossil fuels?
Increase energy efficiency in transportation, industry, and buildings to reduce the overall demand for fossil fuels. Invest in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower to gradually transition away from fossil fuels. Implement carbon capture and storage technologies to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel combustion.
How can sulphur impurities be dealt with in fossil fuels?
Sulphur impurities in fossil fuels can be dealt with through a process called desulphurization. This involves treating the fuels with a desulphurizing agent to remove the sulphur compounds present. Alternatively, low-sulphur fossil fuels can be used, or technologies like fuel scrubbers can be employed to reduce sulphur emissions during combustion.
What are the primary products of complete combustion of fossil fuel?
Carbon Dioxide and water are the primary combustion products of fossil fuels.
What are the primary product of the complete combustion of fossil fuel?
Carbon Dioxide and water are the primary combustion products of fossil fuels.
What is another word for burning of fossil fuel?
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
How do you harness the power of fossil fuels?
Combustion releases the energy in fossil fuels as heat. Other methods can be used, depending on the circumstances.
