The course provides insight on the theoretical background, the various aspects of air
pollution resulting from industrial activities and focuses on the detailed design of air
pollution control systems. Emphasis is given on the increasingly strict legal
framework related to the anti-pollution technology. The introduction to the course
includes topics related to suspended particles (characteristics, behavior of particles in
fluids (traction force, Stokes Law), external forces, gravitational precipitation,
aerosols). Students are then taught detailed design issues including gravitation
chambers for flue gas dedusting, centrifugal collectors (cyclones, polycyclones),
electrostatic precipitators, bag filters and wet scrubbers (Spray chamber and cyclonic
spray scrubbers, Venturi, etc). The advantages and disadvantages of each specific air
pollution control system and its relative energy consumption are discussed in detail.
