Two construction materials industries J&J cement and B&B Bitumen are situated side by side. Each year, B&B bitumen purchases
about 501 tonnes of lime kiln dusts produced by J&J cement to use as filler in bitumen at $10/tonne. This avoids B&B Bitumen to
purchase 455 tonnes hydrated lime per year for filler materials. The market price of hydrated lime is 40/tonne. What is the
annual economic benefit of B&B Bitumen from this industrial symbiotic relationship?(Dont write $ sign. Just write the whole
number what you get, dont covert to kilo or million. For example, write 500,000, dont write 500k or 0.5 million. Calcualte answer

1.1 A steam power station uses coals of calorific value of 5308 kcal/kg. The overall efficiency of the power station is 21.5% and a coal power station uses 6,98tonnes of coal every 15 minutes to generate the maximum demand. The purchasing price of coals is R600 per tonne. (NB: 1 kWh = 861 kcal)(a) Determine the coal consumption in kg per kWh (b) Determine the cost of purchasing the coals per week if the load factor is 65%.
