Answer 1:

r
Ilmenite (FeTiO3) and rutile (TiO2) are both minerals that contain high concentrations of

ja
titanium. Titanium is a strong and lightweight metal known for its excellent corrosion resistance
and high strength-to-weight ratio. It is widely used in various industries, including aerospace,

ur
automotive, medical, and construction.

In India, certain coastal tracts are known for their significant ilmenite and rutile deposits. These

G
minerals are commonly found in beach sand deposits and are extracted through beach sand
mining operations. The extracted ilmenite and rutile are processed to obtain titanium dioxide
(TiO2), which is then further refined to produce metallic titanium. Therefore, ilmenite and rutile,
an
found abundantly in certain coastal tracts of India, are valuable sources of titanium.

Answer 2: C
sh

Statement-I is correct, as India does have uranium deposits but still depends on coal for
most of its electricity production. Coal accounts for nearly 80% of the total electricity
generated in India. [1]
r

Statement-II is incorrect, as uranium enriched to at least 60% is not required for the
production of electricity. In fact, uranium enriched to around 3-5% is used as fuel for light
da

water nuclear reactors. [2]

Gold mining activity, specifically artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), is the largest
source of anthropogenic mercury emissions worldwide. Coal-based thermal power plants also
cause mercury pollution.
@

There is no known safe level of exposure to mercury. Exposure to mercury threatens our he

Answer 4: D
1. It’s incorrect that none of the coal-based thermal power plants in India uses seawater. Many
coastal power plants in India use seawater for cooling purposes. For instance, the Mundra
Thermal Power Station in Gujarat, India, which is one of the largest coal-based power plants in
the country, uses seawater for cooling.

Practice Sheet/P1 MINERAL AND INDUSTRY By Sudarshan Gurjar

2.It’s incorrect that none of the thermal power plants is set up in a water-stressed district. Some
thermal power plants in India are indeed located in water-stressed regions. For example, many
plants in the states of Rajasthan and Maharashtra, which frequently face water scarcity issues,
rely on local water sources for their operations.

3.It’s incorrect that none of the coal-based thermal power plants in India is privately owned.
There are several private players in the thermal power sector in India, including companies like
Tata Power, Adani Power, and Reliance Power, among others. They own and operate a number
of coal-based thermal power plants in the country.

Spreading finely ground basalt rock on farmlands extensively: This is a form of Enhanced
Weathering. When basalt, which is rich in magnesium and calcium, weathers, it captures CO2
from the atmosphere. This process can be expedited by grinding the basalt into a fine powder,

G
increasing its surface area and therefore its ability to capture CO2.

Increasing the alkalinity of oceans by adding lime: This is often proposed as a method of Ocean
an
Alkalinity Enhancement. The basic idea is that by increasing the alkalinity of the ocean, we
enhance its capacity to store carbon in the form of bicarbonate ions. Lime (calcium hydroxide)
reacts with CO2 in seawater to form calcium carbonate, thereby removing CO2 from the
seawater and, indirectly, from the atmosphere.
sh

Capturing carbon dioxide released by various industries and pumping it into abandoned
subterranean mines in the form of carbonated waters:This is known as Carbon Capture and
Storage (CCS), and is a method to prevent large amounts of CO2 from being released into the

stream, and then injected deep into the Earth, often into depleted oil and gas fields o

Green hydrogen can play a role in decarbonizing all of the mentioned heavy industries: fertilizer
plants, oil refineries, and steel plants.

Fertilizer Plants: Fertilizer production is energy-intensive and often relies on fossil fuels,
@

particularly natural gas. By using green hydrogen as a clean energy source, fertilizer plants can
reduce their carbon emissions. Green hydrogen can be used to generate electricity or directly
as a feedstock in the ammonia production process, which is a key component of fertilizer
manufacturing.
Oil Refineries: Oil refineries are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions due to their
energy-intensive processes and reliance on fossil fuels. Green hydrogen can be utilized in oil
refineries to replace or supplement fossil fuels, reducing their carbon footprint. Hydrogen can be
used in refining processes, such as hydrocracking and hydrotreating, to remove impurities and
improve the quality of fuels.

Practice Sheet/P1 MINERAL AND INDUSTRY By Sudarshan Gurjar

Steel Plants: The steel industry is responsible for a significant amount of global carbon
emissions. Green hydrogen can be used as a reducing agent in the steelmaking process,
replacing coal or coke. This process, known as direct reduction, enables the production of
“green” or low-carbon steel. Additionally, green hydrogen can be utilized in the steel industry for
heat generation and electricity production, further reducing carbon emissions.

Statement 3 is incorrect: Monazite doesn’t occur naturally in the entire Indian coastal sands in

G
Statement 4 is correct: A licence from the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) under the
Atomic Energy (Working of the Mines. Minerals and Handling of Prescribed Substances) Rules
1984 promulgated under the Atomic Energy Act 1962 is necessary for exporting monazite.
an
Indian Rare Earths Limited (IREL), a wholly owned Public Sector Undertaking of the

Statement 1 is not correct: With the establishment of the United Nations Convention on the

1994, exploration activities for mineral resources in the international waters are now regulated
under exploration contracts, allocated by the International Seabed Authority (ISA).
Su

Statement 2 is correct: India has received licences for seabed mineral exploration in
international waters in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). These rights are over 75000 sq.
km of area in international waters allocated by the International Seabed Authority (ISA) for
developmental activities for polymetallic nodules. In 2017, India’s exclusive rights to explore
@

polymetallic nodules from the seabed in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) have been
extended by five years.
Statement 3 is correct: The vast repository of minerals, including the precious cobalt, zinc,
manganese and rare earth materials that are needed for smartphones, laptops and hybrid cars,
is present in three forms of ore polymetallic manganese nodules that remain strewn across the
ocean floor; cobaltrich ferromanganese crusts that cover the seamounts; and massive

Answer 16: A
Option 1 and option 2 are correct: Indian coals are of high ash content due to the nature of
formation of the coal deposits. Indian coals have low sulphur content.
● The behaviour of ash fusibility is an important factor for the calculation of the efficiency
of the boiler plant and gas producers.
● Ash Fusion Temperature helps in estimating the coal ash slagging behaviour. Slagging
behaviour of the ash depends upon the constituents present in it, which are divided into

r
acidic (SiO2, FeO, TiO2), basic (CaO, MgO, Fe2O3, Na2O and K2O) and amphoteric
