biomass (1 Viewer)

[nerdd]

I only recall defining it in my notes... hehe so that's all I put that I knew was directly related to biomass.

So everyone.. what's the answer?
Is it suitable for future chemicals?

 

[crazylilmonkee]

in terms of biodegradability and renewability
but i said for the production of it.. no

 

[mei_ling03]

i didn't really know what to write... blabbed on
- renewable
- petrochemical supplies decline --> economic pressure
- ethanol greenhouse neurtral
- cellulose would be good cos blah blah..10 x 10^11 of biomass is cellulose
- not good for plastics industry cos use only 3-5%
- named current disadvantages of ethanol use and production
- petrochemicals cannot support fuel needs
- pollution from petrochemicals

blah... i forgot everything once i walked out the door
i said yes, but not now..only if new developments are made

Cellulose is the major component of biomass so I kinda talked more about Cellulose. ie basic carbon chain required to make high demand products like ethene, biodegradability, renewable resource etc etc.
Basically overall I said it is an attractive alternative but it is not economically viable at the moment. It will come into play in the future.

I think my answers sounds the hottest to me so far

Oh okay goodo..
i talked bout disadvantages of non renewable resources and all that ethanol crap.
hopefully i only lost a few marks..

 

[Misturi]

YES!! I talked about cellulose!! l wasn't sure and l just talked about it and blabbed on.

 

[hipsta_jess]

i talked about what biomass is and the fact that its renewable and biodegradeabiltiy and how current supplies of what we're using will run out and stuff like that

 

[Misturi]

I didn't talk about how renewable it was, not in that sense anyways. I talked about how it can be used again, l just didn't use any scientific lanuage.

 

[iambored]

talked about cellilose, renewable, can't remember what else

 

[countrydude]

I raved on about ethanol, just how it can be made from glucose, how it burns clean ......did i get it all wrong or what....should i get marks for it????

 

[Exeter]

did all that ethanol crap
also put stuff about biopolymers just to be sure, gaev for/against, what with biodegradbility etc vs high cost and stuff

 

[Victorist]

I wrote about the potential of cellolose if it can be broken up to glucose, as glucose can be converted to ethanol, then to ethene. Then I talked about renewable, biodegradeble.. etc

hopefully it will get me full marks
