ChemistryHaber and industrial processesGCSEAQA Created by: Belle StoreyCreated on: 12-01-13 08:14 What kind of things are made in continuous processes? Chemicals needed in large quantitie such as ammonia and sulfuric acid 1 of 15 When does continuous processing take place? 24 hours a day, seven days a week 2 of 15 Where does it take place? In large chemical plants with good transport links 3 of 15 What is one advantage of continuous? Highly automated - minimal labour costs (product is cheaper) 4 of 15 What is another advantage? takes less energy to maintain (doesn't need to stop and start) 5 of 15 What is a disadvantage of continuous? the process is inefficient if not in constant use 6 of 15 What is another disadvantage? very high initial building and set up cost 7 of 15 What kind of things are made in batch processes? Chemicals needed in small quantities, such as medicines 8 of 15 What amount of product does batch processing make? makes a fixed amount 9 of 15 What does it allow batches to do? after being made, they can be stored until needed 10 of 15 What does it allow? drugs that can be made within a given time, as many have a 'sell by' date 11 of 15 What does it make it easy to do? make a new batch when needed and change production to a different product 12 of 15 What is a disadvantage of batch processing? each batch has to be supervised so it is labour intensive and costly 13 of 15 What is another disadvantage of batch processing? time is needed for cleaning if the product line is changed 14 of 15 What is a disadvantage of bath processing? it is inefficient as the production is not in use all the time 15 of 15
