describe the process of catalytic cracking.
heat the hydrocarbons until they vaporise. pass the vapour over a catalyst. thermal decomposition happens.
Describe steam cracking
vaporise it. mix it with steam. Heat it.
why did levels of carbon decrease
process of photosynthesis through plants, algae and being locked up in sedimentary rock and fossil fuels.
how is potable water produced.
fresh water collected. pass through filter beds to remove solid particles. chlorine added to kill microorganisms oozone and uv can be added to sterilise. Fluoride is also added for dental hygiene.
what is photo mining?
as plants grow in copper rich soils it builds up in there leaves plants are burned and copper is left
what is bio leaching
solution with bacteria is mixed with a low grade ore. They convert the Cu into a solution known as leach ate solution which Cu can be extracted from using electrolysis or reactivity displacement
what does LCA measure?
extraction. procession. manufacturing. usage of product. transportation of product. disposal
