The temperature in the non-rotating chamber in the incineration of industrial and hazardous waste process has a range:
Correct answer: C. 950 to 1300°C
- A. 900 to 1000°C
- B. 250 to 500°C
- C. 950 to 1300°C
- D. 500 to 900°C
Explanation
A general process of high temperature incineration system consists of a rotary kiln which accepts all types of wastes including liquid, solid or sludge. The wastes are burned at temperatures between 650° to 1100°C. Ash from the rotating chamber is collected at waste tank and the remaining liquid gaseous materials are passed to the secondary chamber. This chamber is non-rotating and hence the temperature range of 950° to 1300°C is maintained. In this chamber organic molecules are completely destroyed.

About Environmental Chemistry
Atmospheric pollution includes smog, acid rain, greenhouse gases, ozone depletion and the effects of carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Water pollution covers sewage, industrial waste, eutrophication and treatment stages, while green chemistry focuses on reducing hazardous substances, waste and energy use through safer, more efficient processes.

The increasing number of CFC production for industrial use has been a major contributor to the depletion of ozone molecules in the stratosphere. When CFCs diffuses slowly to the atmosphere in the presence of UV light between 175 nm to 220 nm, the ozone layer decomposes. If 1 mole of CFCl3 (Freon - 110) has been released into the air, how many moles of oxygen is produced from the photodecomposition of ozone?
