Match the pollutant or source in Column I with the control measure or fate in Column II. Column I: (P) in flue gas; (Q) fly ash; (R) CO and unburnt hydrocarbons in car exhaust; (S) in car exhaust. Column II: (1) removed by electrostatic precipitator; (2) removed by limestone slurry scrubber; (3) converted into and over Pt/Pd; (4) converted into over Rh.

  1. AP-2, Q-1, R-3, S-4
  2. BP-1, Q-2, R-4, S-3
  3. CP-2, Q-1, R-4, S-3
  4. DP-3, Q-1, R-2, S-4

Answer: A

Gaseous is absorbed by a slurry (2). Solid particles such as fly ash are charged and collected in an electrostatic precipitator (1). CO and hydrocarbons are oxidised to and (3) while is reduced to (4). So P-2, Q-1, R-3, S-4.
