Gaseous Emission-Control Technologies (Air-Quality Technology) (Nazaroff Alvarez-Cohen, Section 7.C) (Mihelcic Zimmerman, Section 12.7) Two different approaches: - Pollution Prevention at the source – the better alternative - Treatment of fumes as they are formed – the classical approach (Nazaroff Alvarez-Cohen, Table 7.C.2, page 444) 1 Example of steps taken to minimize air pollution from gasoline internal combustion engines 2 A three-way catalytic converter performs three simultaneous tasks: 1. Oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide 2 CO + O →2 CO 2 2 2. Oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons (HC) to carbon dioxide and water C H + [(2x+y)/2]O →x CO + y H O x 2y 2 2 2 3. Reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen 2NO →N + x O x 2 2 In other words: Choose your pollutant! Techniques to remove particles from an air stream (Nazaroff Alvarez-Cohen, Table 7.C.1, page 443) 3 Cyclone Separators and their Design (Nazaroff Alvarez-Cohen, pages 445-447 augmented) (Mihelcic Zimmerman, Section 12.8.1) Low-pressure drop cyclone at Rochester Asphalt Plant
