Fossil Fuel

Question 1

type of natural gas

Answer 1

natural gas , Bottled gas , Liquified natural gas

Question 2

type of oil

Answer 2

petroleum- curde oil
oil shale - rock that contains kerogen in a solid form
tar sands (oil sands) - mixture of sand , water , clay and bitumen

Question 3

Effect of high oil prices

Answer 3

reduce energy waste ,
shift to non carbon energy ,
high prices for products made with petrochemicals

Question 4

fossil feul detecttion

Answer 4

Gas chromotography - use to detect fossil fuels from air , water and soil /
Ground penetration radar - detects reflection of waves sent to ground samples /
optical remote sensing -detects surface spills of fossil fuel in ocean and lakes /
photoionization detection (PID) detecst in air samples

Question 5

Modern oil detection

Answer 5

1- signal sent to a rock by vibrating truck
2-the reflected waves are recieved by geophones
3-data transimitted into laboratory trucks

Question 6

fossil fuel detection depends on

Answer 6

type of fossil fuel
envoromental matrix
location
sensistivity and specifity required

Question 7

Type of coal

Answer 7

Anthraciite - 92-98% carbon
Bitmunious - 75-90%
Subbituminous-45-70%
lignite 25-45%

Question 8

Clean Coal

Answer 8

The concept of clean coal encompasses various approaches
to mitigating the negative effects of coal combustion, such as
capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions,
reducing air pollutants, and increasing the efficiency of coalbased power generation.

Question 9

Atmospheric Damage Caused by
Fossil Fuels

Answer 9

Smog: It irritates the eyes, damages the lungs
Acid rain
carbon dioxide

Question 10

75% of oil is trapped so secondary recovery methods are used

Answer 10

1- water flooding -pumps water in to wash the oil out
2-thermal- injection of steam to make the oil less viscous to flow smoother
3-chemical - polymer to break down large oil molecule
