PPT-The Impact of the Acid Rain Program on Sulfur Dioxide Intensive Industries

Josh Verseman Background Sulfur Dioxide chemical compound SO 2 Acid Rain forms when sulfur dioxide particles combine in the atmosphere creates sulfuric acid Environmental concern. ACID RAIN. Fuel often contains . sulfur. . When we burn fuel, the . sulfur. is . oxidised. forming toxic . sulfur. dioxide . gas. If released into the . atmosphere. this eventually forms . sulfuric. How it relates to elements, compounds, and mixtures…. There are three primary types of Acid associated with Acid Rain. Carbonic Acid (which comes from Carbon Dioxide emissions). Nitric Acid (which comes from Nitrogen Oxide pollution). State what is meant by the term acid deposition and outline its origins.. Discuss . the environmental effects of acid deposition and possible methods to counteract them.. . acid deposition. Acid deposition refers to the process by which acidic particles, gases and precipitation leave the atmosphere . (. DeSO. x. ). Limestone is the alkali most often used to react with the dissolved sulfur dioxide. Limestone slurry is sprayed into the sulfur dioxide-containing gas stream. The chemical reactions in the . pH Scale. PRIMARY POLLUTANTS (sulfur dioxide & nitrogen oxides) are emitted by combustion.. Primary pollutants can travel as far as 1,000 km. .. As the primary pollutants react with H. 2. O vapor and O. Acidic Deposition. The deposition of acidic or acid-forming pollutants from the atmosphere onto Earth’s surface. Often takes place as acid rain, but includes acid snow, sleet, hail, fog, or gases. Acid Deposition. OZONE. A gas that forms in the atmosphere due to the burning of fossil fuels (gas, diesel, coal, wood).. Can be “good” up in the atmosphere by protecting humans from UV rays, but “bad” near the ground because it is a dangerous pollutant.. pH = ~ 5.4. Volcanic Activity.

There are two crater lakes near the summit. The northern lake is known as the . By: Kaydee Oliver . December 8, 2011 . Acid Rain . Causes:. . Fossil fuel burning industries and other human activities . Sulfur dioxide and Nitrogen Oxide . Natural Causes. Forms of Acid Precipitation: . Stretch across much of India, Bangladesh, China, and the western Pacific Ocean. Air pollution connects the world. Pollutants can circle the globe in about two weeks. Stricter air pollution standards and continued shifts towards cleaner fuels are needed. : . Required . and . Toxic. Chris Richards. Beef Cattle Extension Specialist. Stillwater. Natural Occurrence and Processing . Widely distributed in nature. Ores. Gypsum, barite, . epsom. salts. Mineral springs. It’s raining correct . asnwers. 1.. What is acid rain?. Acid rain is rain that has been made acidic by certain pollutants in the air. 2.. Acid rain is a result of pollutants being released into the air. Name these two chemical compounds: . Acid. Rain. Demonstrating the acid rain phenomenon. Objective. The purpose of this activity is to investigate the effect of acid rain forerunner on water acidity, create a hypothesis and proceed to test it using the . There is no place on Earth that isn’t affected by air pollution…. Air pollution. : presence of chemicals in the atmosphere in concentrations high enough to harm organisms, ecosystems, human-made materials or to alter climate.
