Q.4 Electro Static Precipitators (ESP) are used to knock down
the ash particles from the hot fuel gas and to maintain SPM concentration
within permissible limits specified by the State Pollution Control Boards.

6. a)
Solid waste management;
NISARG-RUNA plant for solid waste management offers a “Zero
garbage, Zero effluent”method for waste management. It can process almost any
biodegradable waste including kitchen waste, paper, grass, gobar, dry leaves
etc. A substantial portion of our biodegradable waste is food waste (38-40%)
which is used to generate methane. This methane gas can be used as fuel for
domestic purposes or in vehicles. The vegetable and paper waste yield manure.
Manure obtained from such waste has high nitrogen contents. This manure acts as
an excellent soil conditioner. The plant returns as organic manure that is 10%
of the total waste processed. It is weedfree and does not have any offensive
smell.
7. a) Banana
8. c) Groundnut;
Trombay akola groundnut (TAG-24) is an early maturing groundnut variety popular
in Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Punjab and Tamilnadu.
9. b) Cobalt –
60
