Course Objective

Air quality deterioration is keeping an upward trend to constitute the most endangering environmental problem area in our societies. Most of the energy spent so far in air pollution work is dedicated, however, to understand the mechanisms and to evaluate the measured levels of air pollution. This introductory course covers an overview of the four unit operations of absorption, adsorption, condensation, and incineration as applied to gas cleaning in the form of control unit design. These basic operations are reviewed with respect to applied design criteria in gas control equipment.
