Question

Which one of the following is Non-thermal technology for 'waste to energy' conversion?

• A. Pyrolysis
• B. Mechanical biological treatment
• C. Thermal depolymerisation
• D. Plasma arc gasification

Hint:

Non-thermal technologies focus on mechanical or biological processes, while thermal technologies use heat for energy conversion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Mechanical biological treatment (MBT) is a non-thermal technology used for waste to energy conversion. It involves mechanical sorting and biological treatment processes to break down organic materials, which can then be used for energy production. The other options involve thermal methods.
