1. Define decomposition efficiency of an electrolytic cell used for producing caustic


soda.
2. Draw a neat process flow diagram for HCl leaching process for phosphoric acid
production. The constituents of any input/output streams to/from all equipment in the
diagram should be written clearly.
3. Describe the production of “Muriate of potash” with a neat flowsheet.
4. Explain the major engineering problems in the production of
a. Urea
b. Ammonium nitrate
c. Nitric acid
d. Ammonia
5. What is the purpose of methanation reaction used in ammonia plants?
6. Match the chemicals written on the left side with the raw materials required to
produce then on the right
a. Single superphosphate (SSP) Rock phosphate + H2SO4 + NH3
b. Triple superphosphate (TSP) Brine
c. Diamonium phosphate (DAP) Rock phosphate + sulphuric acid
d. Caustic soda Rock phosphate + phosphoric acid
7. In the manufacture of caustic soda from brine, which ONE of the following
statements is TRUE?
a. The membrane cell CANNOT produce concentrated NaOH solution, and
CANNOT tolerate calcium and magnesium ions in the feed brine.
b. The membrane cell CANNOT produce concentrated NaOH solution, but CAN
tolerate calcium and magnesium ions in the feed brine.
c. The membrane cell CAN produce concentrated NaOH solution, but CANNOT
tolerate calcium and magnesium ions in the feed brine.
d. The membrane cell CAN produce concentrated NaOH solution, and CAN
tolerate calcium and magnesium ions in the feed brine.
8. The operating temperature range for the Haber process is 350-500 °C. It is used for
the production of ammonia at
a. 20 MPa using Fe catalyst in an exothermic reaction
b. 0.1 MPa using Fe catalyst in an exothermic reaction

9. For making superphosphate by acidulation of phosphate rock, use of nitric acid is
desirable, because
a. nitric acid is less expensive than sulphuric acid.
b. availability of nitrogen enhances the value of the superphosphate as a
fertilizer.
c. the process produces non-hygroscopic superphospate.
d. the process produces superphosphate having higher phosphorus content than
the sulphuric acid process.
