SANFOUNDRY Separation Processes Questions and Answers - Industrial Chemical Processes This set of Separation Processes Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Industrial Chemical Processes”, 1. Which manner is a chemical or biochemical plant not operated in? a) Continuous b) Batch-wise ¢) Semi-continuous d) Discontinuous View Answer Answer: d Explanation: If a chemical plant is operated in a discontinuous manner, time will be illogically wasted. advertisementSANFOUNDRY et SF 2. When is a separation ¢ a) When there is a decorr b) When there is a compl ©) When the byproducts are in form of gases d) When the reaction is reversible View Answer Answer: b Explanation: If there is a complete conversion of reactants to products, there will be no need for separation since no reactants are left. 3. If only 5% of Ethylene is converted to Ethylene glycol, why is there a need of separation process? a) To feed more reactant to the reacting mixture b) To remove the ethylene glycol formed ©) To recover the unreacted Ethylene Glycol d) To start an intermediate reaction View Answer Answer: ¢ Explanation: If the unreacted reactant is reused the cost of the manufacturing in turn shall be reduced since there will be less requirement for feeding new reactant and near complete conversion could be achieved Hydrogen 100% HCI Chlorine vapor Will the above reaction require a separation process? a) YesSANFOUNDRY et SF Answer: b Explanation: The above reaction will not require a separation process since there is a complete conversion of reactants to product. 5, How is the Diethyl Ether removed in the manufacturing of ethanol from ethylene? a) Directly removed b) Crude distillation column ©) Low pressure flash drum d) Light-ends tower View Answer Answer: d Explanation: Diethyl ether is removed using a light ends tower easily. advertisement 6. Chemical reactions require feed mixtures from non-renewable resources like coal, petroleum. What is used in place of non-renewable sources? a) Sunlight b) Biomass ©) Biodiesel d) Microorganisms View Answer Answer: bSANFOUNDRY et SF b) Chemical catalyst © Elevated temperature d) Non-pathologic state of the organism View Answer Answer: d Explanation: If any condition is used in a biochemical plant then there are chances of the organisms dying.So a nn-pathological state is preferred. 8. Ina biochemical plant, what do the physiological conditions vary with? a) The reaction b) State of the products ©) The micro-organism 4d) The ambient conditions View Answer Answer: ¢ Explanation: The physiological condition has to be dependent on the micro-organism because micro-organism activity can be maximsed at certain conditions only. 9, How can be citric acid produced other than from lemons? a) Aerobic fermentation of starch b) Anaerobic fermentation of starch ©) Aerobic fermentation of glucose 4d) Anaerobic fermentation of glucose View Answer Answer: a Explanation: The aerobic fermentation gives a considerate amount of citric acid required in various chemical and biochemical reactions. advertisement=] SANFOUNDRY et 10. Which of the following separation techniques is NOT used in the process of manufacturing of citric acid ? a) Ultrafiltration b) lon-exchange ©) Crystallization d) Distillation View Answer Answer: d Explanation: Distillation is not required in the manufacturing of itric acid since there are no two products forming which are needed to be separated having difference in boiling points. 11. What separation technique is used when a separation operation is accompanied by chemical reaction that facilitates separation? a) Distillation b) Fractional distillation Reactive distillation d) Fractional crystallization View Answer Answer: ¢ Explanation: Reactive distillation is best employed in such conditions when the separation process is accompanied by chemical reaction like absorption of SO2 by limestone slurry. 12. Which of the following machines do not require a chemical separation technique? a) The washing machine b) Refrigerator ©) Coffee machine d) Water cooler View Answer Answer: ¢ Explanation: The coffee machine leaches oil from the coffee beans leaving behind the ingredients responsible for acidity and bitterness. 13. Which of the following is NOT an importance of separation process? a) Reduces the operating costSANFOUNDRY et EER eens: eaveaton &nesring Answer: d Explanation: Separation process cannot accelerate a chemical reaction unless the byproduct is hindering the formation of product. Normally, a catalyst is used to accelerate a reaction. advertisement 14, Which of the following is NOT used to represent a chemical process? a) Block flow diagram b) Process-flow diagram ©) Flow chart Answer: ¢ Explanation: A flow chart is used to represent a computer program and not a chemical reaction per se.
