How is Calcium carbonate used to neutralise acid emissions from power stations?
The calcium carbonate reacts with the acid as per any carbonate: Calcium Carbonate + Acid -> Calcium Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
What pollutants are released from power stations?
The answer is depending on what fuel power plant use and their waste treatment system. Coal fire would yield CO2, SOx, NOx, dust particulates and Slack. SOx can be treated using scrubber. Particulates and NOx can be prevent using correct Air-Fuel ratio and trapped out using scrubber. Gas Fire would yield every pollution like Coal except in lower amount of SOx and without Slack. Hydro power may not yield any pollutants at all. Temperature can be considered a pollution if it cause ecological damage. Power plant may cause water pollution if they discharge hot water without pre-cool. Same amount of water and temperature may not be considered a pollutant if the river stream is large enough.
Does almost half of the air pollution from human activities comes from factories true or false?
Yes, if you mean carbon dioxide but not methane or nitrous oxide.Yes, if you include power stations as factories.Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions:Power stations: 30%Industry: 21%Transport: 19%Residential and Commercial: 13%Land use and biomass: 9%Fossil fuel production and distribution: 8%
Where do weather stations get their information?
meteorologists predict the weather in specialized weather labs and tell the weather stations.
How many seismograph stations does it take to find an exact location of an earthquake's epicenter?
It takes 3 stations.
What are the air pollutants source?
Stationary sources: Factories, plants. Area Sources: Dry Cleaners, Gas stations. Mobile Sources: cars, trucks, off-road vehicles and construction equipment. Natural Sources: Volcanoes, forest fires.
How is Calcium carbonate used to neutralise acid emissions from power stations?
The calcium carbonate reacts with the acid as per any carbonate: Calcium Carbonate + Acid -> Calcium Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
What is the purpose to air monitoring stations?
The purpose of air monitoring stations is to measure and monitor the quality of air in a specific area. These stations collect data on various pollutants and provide information on air quality to the public and relevant authorities. The data from these stations helps in understanding the presence and levels of pollutants, identifying sources of pollution, and implementing measures to improve air quality and protect public health.
How and why calcium carbonate is used to remove the acidic gases produced from coal- fired power stations?
Calcium carbonate easily react with acids and a neutralizing reaction occur.
Why is it preferable for power stations to use soft water?
it is preferable for power stations to use soft water in their boilers because there is calcium carbonate in it and it does not create scale or scum
What is the most useful type of fuel used in factories and electric power stations?
Coal and bagasse
What causes air pollutants?
Many things can cause pollution. Smokestacks from factories, trucks and cars (vehicles), and even smokers pollute the air. Some have a larger impact on the air than others, but CO2 and smoke, etc. are what most people are talking about when they refer to "pollutants."And, not only that, it can be caused also by cars, rubbish, factories, smoke, power stations are also some of the things.Special note: We should stop air pollution by stop to do the things above. It is our responsibility to stop air pollution and our rights to breathe in clean air.any thing that runs on oil. any thing that runs on oil.
Examples of economic resources?
examples are refineries,iron ores,hydro electric power stations and factories .......by...matilda taribo
What atmospheric pollutants are made by power stations?
Mostly sulphur and carbon dioxode comes out of a power station that burns fossil fuels. But there are some other gases
How many fossil fuel factories are there in America?
There are about 5,800 fossil fuel power stations in the US. (Information the the US Energy Commission).
How can you prevent the effects of carbon dioxide poisoning?
By reducing the pollution from factories, power stations and vehicles, so slowing the enhanced greenhouse effect.
Why are waste gasses from coal-fired power stations passed through calcium carbonate?
In the main the gas released is Sulphur and Carbon monoxide and this is filtered out by the Calcium
