Q

How is the metal extracted from the leachate in bioleaching?

A

Electrolysis or Displaced by a More Reactive Metal

30
Q

Phytomining

A

The process of extraction of metals from ores using plants.

Plants absorb the metal from the soil and it builds up in the leaves.

31
Q

How is the metal extracted in phytomining?

A

Harvesting, drying and burning the plants that have absorbed the metal which then needs to be electrolysed (or displaced by a more reactive metal)

32
Q

Disadvantage of Bioleaching & Phytomining

A

Very slow

33
Q

Advantage of Bioleaching & Phytomining

A

Less damaging to the environment than traditional methods

34
Q

Advantages of recycling

A

Less energy, Uses less finite material, Reduces waste going to landfill

35
Q

Glass is sorted into … before recycling

A

Colour and chemical composition

36
Q

Stages of life cycle assessment

A

Extraction of Raw Material, Manufacture and Packaging, Use of Product, Disposal

37
Q

life cycle assessment

A

Looks at every stage of a product’s life to assess the impact it would have on the environment

38
Q

Suitable pH for Potable Water

A

6.5-8.5

39
Q

Step one of making potable water

A

Filtered with wire mesh

40
Q

Step 2 making potable water

A

Sand and Gravel Filtration

41
Q

Step 3 making potable water

A

Sterilisation

42
Q

Methods of sterilisation of water

A

Bubbling chlorine gas, Ozone, UV Light

43
Q

Methods of treating seawater

A

Desalination (distillation)

Reverse osmosis

44
Q

Process of reverse osmosis to treat sea water

A

Salty water passed through a membrane that only allows water molecules through
Ions and larger molecules are trapped by the membrane so separated from the water

45
Q

Disadvantage of distillation and reverse osmosis

A

Requires a lot of energy so not viable for producing large quantities of water

46
Q

Sewage treatment step 1

A

Screening (Wire Mesh)

47
Q

Sewage treatment step 2

A

Sewage left in settlement tank and undergoes sedimentation

48
Q

Sedimentation

A

Heavier suspended solids sink to the bottom to produce sludge while the lighter effluent floats to the top

49
Q

In sedimentation what is sewage split into?

A

Sludge and Effluent

50
Q

Sewage treatment step 3

A

Effluent digested by aerobic bacteria

51
Q

Sewage treatment step 4

A

Sludge digested by anaerobic bacteria

52
Q

Products of digestion of sludge

A

Methane and fertiliser

53
Q

What does the haber process produce?

A

Ammonia

54
Q

Uses of ammonia

A

Fertilisers

55
Q

Haber process equation

A

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃
