Catalogue data
| Abstract | The lecture provides an introduction to the formation of air pollutants by technical processes, the emission of these chemicals into the atmosphere and the impact on air quality. Theoretical description and modeling of these processes, air quality measurement techniques and pollution control techniques are covered. |
| Learning objective | The students gain general knowledge of the factors resulting in air pollution and the techniques used for air pollution control. The students can identify major air pollution sources and understand the methods for measurement, data collection and analysis. The students can evaluate possible control methods and equipment, design a control system and estimate the efficiency and cost. |
| Content | - the physical and chemical processes leading to emission of pollutants - air quality analysis - the meteorological parameters influencing air pollution dispersion - deterministic and stochastic models, describing the air pollution dispersion - measurement concepts to observe ambient air pollution - removal of gaseous pollutants by absorption and adsorption - control of NOx and Sox - fundamentals of particulate control - design and application of wet scrubbers |
| Literature | Text book Air Pollution Control Technology Handbook, Karl B. Schnelle, Jr. and Charles A. Brown, CRC Press LLC, 2001. |
| Prerequisites / Notice | College lectures on basic physics, chemistry and mathematics. |
