Advanced air and noise pollution control. Handbook of environmental engineering.

Author(s) : WANG L. K., PEREIRA N. C., HUNG Y. T.

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This book is part of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering series. Leading pollution control educators and practicing professionals describe how various combinations of different cutting-edge process systems can be arranged to solve air, noise, and thermal pollution problems. Each chapter discusses in detail a variety of process combinations, along with technical and economic evaluations, and presents explanations of the principles behind the designs, as well as numerous variant designs useful to practicing engineers. The emphasis throughout is on developing the necessary engineering solutions from fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The authors also include extensive references, cost data, design methods, guidance on the installation and operation of various types of air pollution control process equipment and systems, and the best available technologies for air thermal and noise pollution control. Extract from the table of contents: atmospheric modelling and dispersion (air quality management and indices); desulfurization and emissions control; carbon sequestration; control of NOx during stationary combustion; control of heavy metals in emission streams; ventilation and air conditioning (air ventilation and circulation; ventilation requirements; fans; hood and duct design; general discussion and considerations; typical applications; design examples; health concerns and indoor pollution control; energy and ventilation; HVAC recent approach); indoor air pollution control (regulatory and nonregulatory measures for indoor air quality management); odour pollution control; radon pollution control; cooling of thermal discharges (cooling ponds; cooling towers); performance and costs of air pollution control technologies; noise pollution and control.
