Question

What is a major advantage of Epoxidation and anaerobic fermentation over aerobic composting?

(a) Human control

(b) Production of methane

(c) High water content

(d) Less water content

I got this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

The doubt is from Microbial Transformations of Pesticides topic in division Microbial Transformations of Pesticides of Environmental Biotechnology

Answer 1

Right option is (a) Human control

The explanation: Human control is one of the major advantage of anaerobic fermentation over aerobic composting which can control the liquid and gaseous emissions, which is not the case for aerobic composting. High water content or low water content is irrelevant to this advantage. Also, the ability of re-use of methane by the engineers, in the process is a major advantage. So, in this case production of methane is not very relevant.
