Course objectives:
The course deals with the air pollution problem and the advanced technologies that have been developed for gas emissions treatment/control. Alternative technologies aiming to the utilization of air pollutants for the production of high added value chemicals and fuels are of special interest and presented in detail.
Syllabus:
| 1st Week: | Introduction to the air pollution - Dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere. |
| 2nd Week: | Description of the main atmospheric pollutants - sources of their origin (natural, anthropogenic, mobile and stationary sources) - Impact on the environment and human health - Climate change. |
| 3rd Week: | Gas pollution analysis and measurement technologies. |
| 4th Week: | Basic concepts for the design of gas pollutant treatment processes. |
| 5th Week: | Gas emissions control technologies: Absorption, adsorption and combustion. |
| 6th Week: | Alternative anti-pollution technologies: Environmental catalysis-basic types of solid catalysts-evaluation of catalytic properties-desirable catalyst characteristics for gas emission control processes. |
| 7th Week: | Advanced processes for the treatment of nitrous oxides (NOx and N2O) emissions. |
| 8th Week: | Advanced processes for the treatment of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. |
| 9th Week: | Advanced processes for the treatment of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. |
| 10th Week: | Advanced processes for the treatment of methane (CH4) emissions. |
| 11th Week: | Advanced processes for the treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). |
| 12th Week: | Advanced processes for the treatment sulfur oxides (SΟx). |
