gas storage and transportation

Hydrogen gas has explosive flammability and so is difficult to handle. This causes problem to its storage and transportation. A solution for this is the use of Fe-Ti alloy, which absorbs hydrogen and results in the formation of fine silvery powder. Heating the powder ..

Carbon dioxide is transported in three different forms - dissolved gas, bicarbonates and carbaminohaemoglobin molecules. About 3.7ml of carbon dioxide enters each 100ml of blood. A small amount in the plasma is transported in the dissolved form. Most of the carbon dio..

The energy rich carbon compounds formed during photosynthesis- called photosynthates or photoassimilates are transported to all the organs and tissues of the plant body. This long distance transport of photosynthates through the phloem is called as translocation. The photosynth..

In order to live and enable ourselves to do everyday work we need energy. The prosperity of a country depends upon the availability of energy. Huge amount of electrical energy is used to run the air conditioners, cold storage and other domestic appliances. A large share of energy is..

Hydrogen is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas. Impure hydrogen has a fishy smell due to its impurities ,arsine and phosphine. Hydrogen is the lightest element. It is by far the most abundant element in the universe and makes up about 90% of the universe by weight. Hydrogen as..

Characteristics of Sources of Energy - A good source of energy should have the following characteristics: It should do a large amount of work per unit mass or volume - it means that the output energy must be more than the input energy. It should have high calorific value. It should be easily access..

Waste Management - It is very important to have good and effective waste management techniques as the waste generated cannot be reduced easily. With increasing population, wastes generated are only going to increase. Waste management involves collection, storage, transportation,..

Proper methods should be adopted for management of solid waste disposal. Industrial wastes can be treated physically, chemically and biologically until they are less hazardous. Acidic and alkaline wastes should be first neutralized; the insoluble material if biodegradable should be allowed to degr..

Petroleum is brought to the surface by drilling a hole in the Earth's crust and sinking pipes deep down through the impervious cap rock. Natural gas first comes out under high pressure. Then, petroleum is pumped out, collected in tanks and transported, for further processing. ..

Water - About 70-73% of earth is covered by water. Water is available in the form of oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, ponds, pools, polar ice caps and water vapour. The main component of hydrosphere is water. Water exists in all the three forms i.e., solid (snow), liquid (water) and gas (wate..
