Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Calciumकैल्शियम
Explanation
Surveys of sewage sludge (e.g. US EPA) show calcium at about 4–5% of dry weight, somewhat higher than total nitrogen (≈3–4%), with phosphorus (≈2%) and sulphur (≈1%) lower. Lime used in sludge treatment raises calcium further.सीवेज स्लज के सर्वेक्षणों (जैसे US EPA) के अनुसार कैल्शियम शुष्क भार का लगभग 4–5% होता है, जो कुल नाइट्रोजन (≈3–4%) से कुछ अधिक है, जबकि फ़ॉस्फ़ोरस (≈2%) और सल्फ़र (≈1%) कम होते हैं। स्लज उपचार में उपयोग होने वाला चूना कैल्शियम को और बढ़ा देता है।More People, Development and Environment questions
