To learn the source of air pollution and its effects on humankind To learn the meteorology and plume dispersion To design and operation of air pollution equipment Course Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, it is expected that the students will be able to, Understand in general terms, the major issues and challenges and air transportation Properties of atmosphere and its influence on the control of air pollution Manage the air quality in atmosphere for better living UNIT I – Air Pollution Definitions, Scope, Significance and Episodes, Air Pollutants Classifications – – – Natural and Artificial Primary and Secondary, point and Non- Point, Line and Areal Sources of – air pollution- stationary and mobile sources. UNIT II – Effects of Air pollutants on man, material and vegetation: Global effects of air pollution – House effect, Heat Islands, Acid Rains, Ozone Holes etc. Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Air-pollution Applications in the removal of gases like SOx, – NOx, CO, HC etc., air-fuel ratio. Computation and Control of products of combustion. UNIT III – Meteorology and plume Dispersion; properties of atmosphere; Heat, Pressure, Wind forces, Moisture and relative Humidity, Influence of Meteorological phenomena on Air Quality-wind rose diagrams. Lapse Rates, Pressure Systems, Winds and moisture plume behaviour and plume Rise Models; Gaussian Model for Plume Dispersion. UNIT-IV Control of particulates Control at Sources, Process Changes, Equipment modifications, Design – and operation of control. Equipment’s Settling Chambers, Centrifugal separators, filters Dry – and Wet scrubbers, Electrostatic precipitators. UNIT V – General Methods of Control of NO2 and SO2 emissions In-plant Control Measures, process – changes, dry and wet methods of removal and recycling.
