REPORT: Critical Analysis of the Environmental Impact of Chemical Processes

Identify a ‘human-made’ chemical process (or series of processes) that has undergone
changes in recent times to reduce its environmental impact. Critically examine and
comment on the appropriateness of the changes. Suggest other alternatives and why
they may not have been adopted.

**Answer:**

Industrial production involves a lot of rare materials and causes the significant environmental impact.

Energetic is one of the main sources of environmental pollution in modern economy. The energy receiving is produced by the realization of the chemical reaction:

$$\mathrm{C} + \mathrm{O}_2 = \mathrm{CO}_2 + \mathrm{Q}$$

C is the main resource for this reaction. The most negative environmental effect is being made because of $\mathrm{O}_2$ lack in this reaction. This affects both the effectiveness of energy receiving and CO formation (which is far more dangerous pollutant than $\mathrm{CO}_2$). The $\mathrm{O}_2$ injection is used in industrial processes to escape the stage of CO formation.

Alternatively, new technologies were developed to avoid the $\mathrm{CO}_2$ accumulation in the atmosphere. These are for example wind power stations and solar stations introduction. These stations avoid the described chemical process to receive environmentally safe energy.
