Intro_PPE Flashcards
A large-scale chemical or mechanical step used to manufacture specific items or products
industrial process
Industries where the main production methods are either continuous or done in batches, with the end product being indistinguishable.
process industries
the purpose is to transform rare and expensive materials into more affordable commodities.
industrial process
produces Desired products and often unwanted by-products that can be toxic, hazardous, and difficult to manage.
Industrial Processes
What are the types of Industrial Processes?
General Processes, Chemical Processes, Heat Processes, Physical Processes, and Distillation Processes.
A process that facilitates easy transportation by converting gases into liquids.
liquefaction
A process that removes excess liquids from materials.
Freeze Drying/Supercritical Drying
A device that removes pollutants from exhaust gases.
scrubber
A process used to extract a metal from its ore, often involving the use of heat and reducing agents.
smelting
A process that removes harmful microorganisms, often using chemicals.
disinfection
A process that uses heat to chemically combine materials.
pyro-processing
An advanced smelting technique primarily used for refining sulfur ores to produce metals like copper, nickel, and lead.
Flash Smelting
A process that uses electricity to achieve effects such as metal plating or separation.
Electrolysis
A physical cleaning process of a surface by means of sand or other particles.
sandblasting
A process that separates mixtures based on differences in boiling points.
distillation
The process of producing goods using raw materials, labor, machines, and other resources.
