Aims :

In this course, fundamental topics with regard to the formation and control of air pollutants are studied with the intent to provide a strong foundation for design and development of engineering solutions, devices and systems for industrial air pollution prevention and control. Environmental, and mechanical engineering students, as well as environmental science students, are among the groups who could mostly benefit from this course.

Topics :

Air Pollutants Strategies for Prevention and Control of Air Pollutants. Emission Factors. Uncontrolled Pollutant Emission Rates. Measurements of Process Gas Streams Pollutant Material Balance. Empirical Equations Evaporation & Diffusion. Diffusion Through Stagnant Air. Capturing Gases and Vapors. Condensation, Adsorption, Absorption & Chemical Reaction Thermal Oxidation. Bioscrubbers, Biofilters. Equation of Particle Motion Freely Falling Particles in Quiescent Media. Gravimetric Settling in Chambers. Capturing Particles.
