Q

process of cleaning water

A

passes through mesh to catch large objects as it enters water treatment works
enters settlement tank - sand and soil settle out
aluminium sulfate and lime added to water
passes through fine mesh to remove any remaining particles of mud of salt
clorine is added to sterilise pH of water
checked to ensure it is neutral
stored in tanks and distributed to consumers

Q

process of treating sewage water

A

screening passes through mesh to remove large solids
moved into settlement tank solid sediment is allowed to settle whilst liquid sits on the top and flows into the next tank
air is pumped into the tank to encourage bacteria to break down any harmful, organic matter in it
the useful bacteria settle as sediment where it is removed and recycled

Q

sources of waste water 3

A

31
Q

what happens to the sludge produced when treating sewage

A

microorganisms anaerobically digest

the organic matter methane gas and biogas are produced

32
Q

what is the methane produced form anaerobic digestion used for

A

energy source

33
Q

what is sludge from sewage treatment used for

A

fertilisers

34
Q

what is the biogas produced form anaerobic digestion used for

A

energy source

35
Q

what is a life cycle assessment

A

it looks at every stage of a products life and assesses its impact on the environment

36
Q

where does copper come from

A

copper ores

37
Q

what are the two main methods of extracting copper from the core

A

sulfuric acid is mixed with the ore to create copper sulfate before the copper metal is extracted
smelting - copper ore is heated to a high temperature with air to produce impure copper

38
Q

what are the four stages of a products life that has an effect on the environment that a life cycle assessment looks at

A

getting raw materials
manufacture and packaging
using the product disposal

39
Q

how is a life cycle assessment carried out 2`

A

looks at all the main energy and material inputs

the environmental impact of inputs and outputs

40
Q

examples of outputs of a life cycle assessment that impact the environment 3

A

emissions
energy dissipation
waste

41
Q

how can sourcing raw materials for a product impact the environment 2

A

extraction leades to pollution

raw materials need to be processed which uses a lot of energy

42
Q

how can manufacturing and packaging a product have an impact on the environment

A

uses a lot of energy
waste chemicals from manufacturing
pollute environment

43
Q

How can using a produce impact the environment 2

A

the purpose of the product can impact the environment for example fossil fuels being burnt or fertiliser leavhing chemicals into streams the longer a product is used for the more energy needed

44
Q

how can the way in which a product is disposed impact the enivornment 3

A

often left in landfill sites - pollutes land and water
products might be incinerated
energy is used to transport waste to landfill= energy

45
Q

probems with LCAs 2

A

selective LCAs which can only shows some information
may be biased to make a company look better producing an lsa is subjective as it is the persons own opinions about how important an issue is
the impact an issue has that are published
don’t take into account cost or performance

46
Q

what is sustainable development

A

an approach to development that ensures the needs of present society are met whilst preserving earth for futue generations

47
Q

what are the aims of the reduce reuse recycle campaign 3

A

to reduce our use of limited resources
to reduce the waste we produce
to reduce our use of energy

48
Q

why is it important to recycle metals

A

mining and extracting metals takes a lot of energy -produced by fossil fuels recycling uses much less energy and is therefore cheaper

49
Q

how aluminium sourced

A

extracting from aluminium oxide at high temperature by electrolysis

50
Q

how are metals recycled

A

they are melted down and cast in the shape of the new product

51
Q

why is extracting iron so bad

A

most of the energy needed comes form burning fossil fuels

52
Q

what is a blast furnace used for

A

extracts iron form its ore at a high temperature using carbon

53
Q

why is the recycling of copper often more difficuly

A

it is often alloyed with other metals

54
Q

how can recycling glass help sustainability

A

reduces the amunt of energy needed to make new glass

reduces the waste created when glass is thrown away

55
Q

why are glass bottles easy to recycle

A

they can often resued with reshaping

56
Q

process of recycling glass

A

separated by colour and chemical composition
glass is crushed and melted
it is then reshaped for use in new glass products

57
Q

3 benefits of recycling metals

A

conserves limited supply of metalores

reduce energy/pollution

58
Q

problems with mining 3

A

huge pits are left behind that scar the landscape
destroy habitats
grounwater can become acidic

59
Q

what greenhouse gas is released in the extraction of iron

A

co2

60
Q

one way in which chemists have helped sustainability

A

catalyst reduce the amount of energy required for industrial processes

61
Q

what is thermal decomposition

A

when the bonds in reactants break because they are exposed to high temperatures

62
Q

describe the main process used to maintain pur copper

A

copper ore is mined
copper ore is smelted
impure copper is used as positive electrode In electrolysis

63
Q

3 main problems of smelting copper

A

uses huge amounts of energy and electricity - expensive pollution of environment

64
Q

why is electrolysis used to produce pure copper from impure copper

A

impure copper used as positive electrode
metal ions are always positively charge
therefore they are attracted to and deposited at the negative electrode

65
Q

half equation for the electrolysis of copper at the positive electrode

A

cu s -> cu2 aq+ +2e-

66
Q

what happens at the negative electrode in the electrolysis of copper

A

oxidation

67
Q

what happens at the positive electrode in the electrolysis of copper

A

reduction

68
Q

half equation for the electrolysis of copper at the negative electrode

A

cu2 aq + 2e- ->cu s

69
Q

how can iron be used to extract copper from copper sulfate solution

A

iron displaces copper from its solutions

70
Q

equation for iron + copper sulfate

A

iron + copper ii
sulfate -. iron ii
sulfate + copper

71
Q

what are the two new ways of extracting copper from low grade ores

A

bioleaching

phytomining

72
Q

process of phytomining

A

plants are grown in soil that contains copper
it builds up in leaves as plants cant use it
plants are burned
copper extracted from copper compudns in ash the copper ions can be leached by adding sulfuric acid this makes a solution of copper sulfate
displacement by iron and then electrolysis = pure copper

73
Q

process of bioleaching

A

bacteria feed on low grade metl ores
they convert copper compounds in the ore into soluble copper compounds
the solution of copper ions produced can be used in a displacement reaction with iron
then electrolysis to produce pure copper

74
Q

why is only 20% of copper currently created by bioleaching

A

it is very slow
