Air Pollution Control Engineering

The first in a new series on environmental engineering, this collection of 12 papers presented by Wang (Zorex Corporation), Pereira (retired, Monsanto Company), and Hung (Cleveland State U.) emphasize the fundamental sciences of chemistry, physics, and mathematics in their approach towards the design of engineering systems of pollution control. Chapters cover air quality and pollution control, fabric filtration, cyclones, electrostatic precipitation, wet and dry scrubbing, condensation, flare process, thermal oxidation, catalytic oxidation, gas-phase activated carbon adsorption, gas-phase biofiltration, and emerging air pollution control technologies

A panel of respected air pollution control educators and practicing professionals critically survey the both principles and practices underlying control processes, and illustrate these with a host of detailed design examples for practicing engineers.
