Question 46 from the Morning Section on Professional Knowledge in 2014
Thread Content
46 Which of the following is something that needs to be taken into account in order to reduce material losses in chemical processes? A Chemical reaction equilibrium B Operating systems and methods C Process technology D Equipment and piping. For this question, I chose BC; I’m not sure if that’s correct. Please advise those who are more knowledgeable. By the way, tell me which book covers this part again. Thank you
A, D: Chemical reaction equilibrium, equipment and fittings. It should also be considered. If a chemical reaction does not reach equilibrium, it can result in an excess of reactants or incomplete reaction; although the materials can be recovered, this will inevitably lead to waste. It is also unrealistic to try to control consumption without having suitable or compatible equipment and fittings.
Personally, I think CD is the choice; refer to page 79 of the association’s book
