CEV 446 - Air Pollution sources and Control

Course Objectives

The course objectives are to develop a basic understanding of
1. the mechanism that lead to the formation and emissions of air pollutants
2. air pollution sources, classification systematics and types of air pollution sources (Combustion, industrial, mobile and other)
3. unit operations in air pollution control,
4. air pollution control applications and best available technologies for different pollution sources,
5. air pollution emission standards and legal implementations for different pollution sources.
