Writing for engineers working in the area of air pollution control systems, Cooper (U. of Central Florida) and Alley (emeritus, Clemson U.) present a textbook describing the philosophy and procedures for systems design. The primary purpose of the text is to aid in formal design training, although general foundational information on air pollution and its control does provide the background for the former. Chapters cover process design, particulate matter, cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters, particulate scrubbers, auxiliary equipment, properties of gases and vapors, VOC incinerators, gas adsorption and absorption, biological controls, atmospheric dispersion modeling, and indoor air quality and control. The CD-ROM contains solutions to exercises from the text. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Air pollution control can be approached from a number of different engineering disciplines environmental, chemical, civil, and mechanical. To that end, Noel de Nevers has written an engaging overview of the subject. While based on the fundamentals of chemical engineering, the treatment is accessible to readers with only one year of college chemistry. In addition to discussions of individual air pollutants and the theory and practice of air pollution control devices, de Nevers devotes about half the book to topics that influence device selection and design, such as atmospheric models and U.S. air pollution law. The generous number of end-of-chapter problems are designed to develop more complex thinking about the concepts presented and integrate them with readers personal experienceincreasing the likelihood of deeper understanding.

Develops rational bases for the design of air pollution control devices for the removal of gases and particulate emissions from industrial sources. The practical aspects of design are emphasized through a detailed presentation of state-of-the-art procedures for the design of each major air pollution control system in general use. The book describes the theory underlying the design of each system as well as the philosophy for the design. Topics covered include: cyclones; fabric filters; wet scrubbers; absorption; and incineration. This material is appropriate for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in environment, chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering.

A 25-year tradition of excellence is extended in the Fourth Edition of this highly regarded text. In clear, authoritative language, the authors discuss the philosophy and procedures for the design of air pollution control systems. Their objective is twofold: to present detailed information on air pollution and its control, and to provide formal design training for engineering students. New to this edition is a comprehensive chapter on carbon dioxide control, perhaps the most critical emerging issue in the field. Emphasis is on methods to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and the technologies for carbon capture and sequestration. An expanded discussion of control technologies for coal-fired power plants includes details on the capture of NOx and mercury emissions. All chapters have been revised to reflect the most recent information on U.S. air quality trends and standards. Moreover, where available, equations for equipment cost estimation have been updated to the present time. Abundant illustrations clarify the concepts presented, while numerous examples and end-of-chapter problems reinforce the design principles and provide opportunities for students to enhance their problem-solving skills.

A panel of respected air pollution control educators and practicing professionals critically survey the both principles and practices underlying control processes, and illustrate these with a host of detailed design examples for practicing engineers. The authors discuss the performance, potential, and limitations of the major control processes-including fabric filtration, cyclones, electrostatic precipitation, wet and dry scrubbing, and condensation-as a basis for intelligent planning of abatement systems,. Additional chapters critically examine flare processes, thermal oxidation, catalytic oxidation, gas-phase activated carbon adsorption, and gas-phase biofiltration. The contributors detail the Best Available Technologies (BAT) for air pollution control and provide cost data, examples, theoretical explanations, and engineering methods for the design, installation, and operation of air pollution process equipment. Methods of practical design calculation are illustrated by numerous numerical calculations.
