How can microalgae be used to create biodiesel

1 answer:

8 0

The oil extracted through these methods is referred to as "green crude" and it's not ready to be used as fuel until it undergoes another process called transesterification. This step adds more substances to the mix, including alcohol and a chemical catalyst that causes the alcohol to react with the oil. This reaction creates a mix of biodiesel and glycerol. The final step in processing separates the glycerol from the mixture and leaves a biodiesel that's ready to be used as fuel. Maybe one day it really will be easy being green.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

D. DDT

Explanation:

DDT is highly persistent in the environment means that it break down very slowly in the environment. The half-life for DDT is from 2 to 15 years. Half-life is the time needed for the degradation of half of the compound. Persistent bio-accumulative toxic substances (PBTs) are chemicals that break down slowly in the environment and its accumulation in living organisms are toxic. Some PBTs are dispersed through air currents while some uses other environmental pathways, resulting in contamination of regions far from their points of origin.
