Which of the following statements is/are correct for generating non-biodegradable waste?

  1. Thermal power plants producing fly ash

  2. Iron and steel plants producing blast furnace slag

  3. Metal industries producing mud and tailings

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Non-biodegradable waste is a type of waste that can not be broken down into its base compounds by micro-organisms, air, moisture or soil in a reasonable amount of time. Non-biodegradable waste is an environmental concern, as it threatens to overwhelm landfills and create disposal problems. Almost all industries generate some amount of non biodegradable waste for eg fly ash,slag,mud which are major concern for the environment.

Switching from air to pure oxygen eliminates the NO production. This is an application of:

  1. Green chemistry

  2. waste management

  3. Green revolution

  4. none of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Switching from air to pure oxygen eliminates NO production and also saves fuels by more efficient burning, thus, having less wastage. Hence, this is an application of Green chemistry.

Current commercial method for producing ibuprofen is a stunning application of Green chemistry because ______ .

  1. ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug and has various applications

  2. the previous method required large amounts of solvents and generated large wastes compared to the current method

  3. it has very important medicinal value

  4. this compound has very less side effects after usage
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The current commercial method for producing ibuprofen is a stunning application of green chemistry. Conventional methods of ibuprofen production requires six steps, hence, used large amounts of solvents and generated large amount of wastes. Current methods of ibuprofen production has just three steps and minimal waste, and is an application of Green chemistry.

Plastics being developed from eco-friendly renewable sources, plus some modern plastics are biodegradable is one of the achievements of________.

  1. Green revolution

  2. Waste management

  3. Revolution resource recovery

  4. Green chemistry
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Green chemistry seeks to develop products and processes that are kind to the environment.
Plastics being developed from eco-friendly renewable sources, plus some modern plastics are biodegradable. The combination of innovations reduces our dependence on petroleum products, protects humans and wildlife from undesirable chemicals in old plastics, and reduces waste and impact on the environment.

Which of the following is not an objective of Green chemistry?

  1. It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been created.

  2. The use of auxiliary substances (e.g., solvents, separation agents, etc.) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and innocuous when used.

  3. Energy requirements of chemical processes should be recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized. If possible, synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure.

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

All the three are objectives of Green chemistry.
