Fossil Fuels are organic deposits derived from decaying plants and animals that have been fossilized over millions of years. There is more to them than that however they are also hydrocarbons comprised primarily of the following elements: carbon and hydrogen and some sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, and minerals. Different combinations of these elements are used as a fuel for our everyday lives. This paper’s purpose is to explain some of the chemistry behind the use of these various fossil fuels as…

Use of Carbon Compounds as Fuel: Carbon based fuels: What makes a good fuel? What are these fuels used for? Combustion effects good bad The main carbon based gases in use today are coal, gasoline and natural gas. Coal: The chemical formula of coal is C135H96O9NS. Nearly 85% of Coal is made up of Carbon and the rest is mainly hydrogen and oxygen. Coal doesn’t have a melting point. Like all fossil and biofuels, all different kinds of coal produce CO2 when burned. Coal energy quality varies…

about The Carbon Cycle, I learned from this video the Carbon is the basic building block of life, and there are these atoms are unique in every place on earth. Carbons forms the flora and fauna the earth, and are also stored in the ocean and the atmosphere, and the planet 's crust. Carbon atom can spend millions of years moving through the ground in a complex cycle. This conceptual animation provides an example of the different parts of the carbon cycle. The arrows indicate the purple carbon…

Part One: Conductive behaviour of graphene/carbon nanotube and graphene oxide/ carbon nanotube hybrid materials Experimental Introduction Although many CNTs and graphene based electrodes have been developed with outstanding properties, drawbacks are still noticeable using some methods. For instance, EPD method commonly produces unsatisfied CNTs film strength and on the other hand, CVD technique is costly. Moreover, graphene based electrodes needs lots of labour works which is time consuming…

Storms of my Grandchildren is a interesting tale of experiences encountered by a climate change scientist, James Hansen. Hansen is a decelerated climate scientist who is a retired researcher of NASA. In his book, he journeys through his life as a climate scientist and tells his experiences and frustrations with the global warming trend that society is creating. It has a good mix of hard science, and political issues. The purpose for this book becomes clear early in the story, what is happening…

For the reactive flash volatilization (RFV) process based on the knowledge that the catalyst bed is preheated to high temperature, pyrolysis of the heated cellulose particles on the surface of the bed is expected to be fast enough that it will not be a rate-limiting step. Hence, the kinetics of the RFV of cellulose reduces to gasification of the produced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on and in the catalyst bed. To represent the RFV of the VOCs from flash pyrolysis of cellulose, Aspen Plus…

vivacious lives that make our oceans so beautifully helpful are at great danger of depletion. ”Ocean acidification is a global environmental issue caused by the man-made release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Ocean acidification is often called the "evil twin" to climate change, because both issues are rooted in carbon dioxide emissions” (Oceana,…

were largely degraded after several hours, while the organic carbon of alicyclic cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone was barely attacked. This is because the pKa for the hydrogens in an alicyclic system is significantly higher than in an aromatic system, which makes them harder to abstract, making the carbons harder to add to. This trend makes Fenton treatment good for targeting waste material and not naturally occurring environmental carbon…

care about as we do not see it every day, however, it is a danger to not only our way of life but human life in general. Ocean acidification refers to a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Humans have caused this, mankind is not only disturbing the ocean…

conserved adding to the introduction of other renewable sources of energy means that there is less dependency on fossil fuel, and thus conservation of both power and environment. • Moral standings: The moral obligation of each government is to reduce the carbon footprint in the country. Germany is thus demonstrating its moral standing to the environment and to the…
