6. _________ are utilized to control foaming. Foam exists when some other insoluble gas is mixed into water containing surfactants, which is, surface active agents.
a) Overall retention
b) Defoamers
c) Drainage aids
d) Formation aids
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Defoamers are utilized to control foaming. Foam exists when air or some other insoluble gas is mixed into water which contain surfactants, which are, surface active agents. Soaps and detergents are good examples of surfactants.

7. Inorganic deposits could frequently be controlled with sequestering agents for the metal ions to keep them in solution by binding them to polar molecules.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Chemicals are frequently utilized to control organic or inorganic deposits. Inorganic deposits could frequently be controlled with sequestering agents for the metal ions to keep them in sol. by binding them to polar molecules. Sequestering agents include chelants and threshold inhibitors, Chelants such as E.D.T.A., N.T.A., and D.T.P.A. react stoichiometrically.

8. Microorganisms, particularly bacteria and fungi, would grow around the paper machine and produce _________ which consists of proteins and polysaccharides.
a) Slime
b) Spot
c) Crisp
d) Buffer
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: These are very identical to those utilized in bleaching mechanical pulps where metal ions can decompose H2O2 or cause discoloring of the pulp by reacting with phenolic compounds.

9. What is the name of the compound?
The name of the compound is Glutaraldehyde
a) Quaternary ammonium salts
b) Glutaraldehyde
c) Isothiazolin
d) Dibromonltrilepropionannide
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Glutaraldehyde’s an organic compound with the formula CH2(CH2CHO2. A pungent colorless oily liquid, glutaraldehyde’s utilized to sterilise medical and dental equipment. It is also utilized for industrial water treatment and as a preservative.

10. What is the name of the compound?
The name of the compound is Dibromonltrilepropionannide
a) Dibromonltrilepropionannide
b) Isothiazolin
c) Glutaraldehyde
d) Quaternary ammonium salts
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: D.B.N.P.A. or 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide’s a quick-kill biocide that easily hydrolyzes under both acidic and alkaline conditions. It’s opted for its instability in water as it quickly kills and then quickly degrades to form a number of products, depending on the conditions which include ammonia, bromide ions, dibromoacetonitrile, and dibromoacetic acid.
