Question

In many countries, sulfur is removed from coal before the coal is burnt.
1) Explain how this reduces air pollution.
2) Will this completely prevent air pollution from the burning coal? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Buying a car that has greater fuel efficiency. Turning off lights and appliances when they are not in use. Using energy efficient light bulbs and appliances. Buying fewer things that are manufactured using fossil fuels.

Explanation:

2.One method is carbon capture, which separates CO2 from emissions sources and recovers it in a concentrated stream. The CO2 can then be injected underground for permanent storage, or sequestration. Reuse and recycling can also reduce the environmental effects of coal production and use.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Removing sulfur from coal would decrease the amount of sulfur oxides in the air. Sulfur oxides combine with water vapor to form acid precipitation, so the acidity of the precipitation both locally and in more distant areas would decrease
