Essential Plant Nutrients Macronutrients (Needed in large amounts) Primary Macronutrients: Nitrogen (N): Leaf growth, chlorophyll, and protein synthesis. Phosphorus (P): Energy transfer, root development, and flowering. Potassium (K): Plant health, disease resistance, and water regulation. Secondary Macronutrients: Calcium (Ca): Cell wall structure and root growth. Magnesium (Mg): Central to chlorophyll and enzyme activation. Sulfur (S): […]

Chlor-alkali Industries

The Chlor-Alkali Industry primarily produces chlorine, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), soda ash (sodium carbonate), sodium bicarbonate, potassium hydroxide, and potassium carbonate. The materials required are: 1.Brine (Salt Solution) Source: Sodium chloride (NaCl), which is dissolved in water to create brine. Uses: Provides the chlorine and sodium ions required for the process. ● 2.Water Source: Clean

Fundamentals

Unit Processes Definition: Unit processes are chemical changes or reactions involved in the conversion of raw materials into desired products. These steps involve chemical transformations. Focus: The focus is on the chemical reaction and the conditions required for it, such as temperature, pressure, catalysts, and reaction mechanisms. Examples in Inorganic Industries: •Ammonia synthesis (Haber-Bosch process):
