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. Overall
Collection Efficiency. Cyclone Collector Particulate
