Control Engineering of Atmospheric Pollutants II

Learning Outcomes: 

The goal of the course is to provide students with sufficient knowledge about the nature, origin and destructive effect of air pollutants emitted from mobile and non-mobile sources as well as about the catalytic systems used for the removal of the emitted pollutants.

Upon successful completion of the course students will be able to select catalytic systems used for the removal of emitted pollutants and analyze and compare among the most basic catalytic technologies in order to control the emitted atmospheric pollutants.

 

Course Content: 
1. General principles of catalysis
2. Air pollution from mobile sources (vehicles) and application of aftertreatment catalytic technologies for its control
3. Application of catalytic technologies for the control of nitrogen oxides (NO_x) emissions
4. Application of catalytic technologies for the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions
5. Application of catalytic technologies for the control of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions
6. Application of catalytic technologies for the control of nitrogen oxide (N₂O) emissions
7. Application of catalytic technologies for the control of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions from stationary sources
8. Controlling the use and emissions of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
9. Modern antipollution technologies
10. Combustion of gaseous pollutants
11. Biological control of gaseous pollutants
