| Course contents : | Local and global pollution. Combustion, the source of atmospheric pollution. Thermodynamics and emission kinetics of the principal pollutants of combustion: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulphur oxide, oxidised organic compounds, aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons, soot and ash. Combustion and global pollutants. Disturbance of natural cycles by combustion pollutants: acid rain, greenhouse effect, hole in the stratospheric ozone, tropospheric ozone.
Regulatory norms: their relevance and application.
Methodology and techniques for reducing combustion pollutants: treatment of combustibles before combustion, reduction of pollutant emissions through optimising the operation of the burner, treatment of smoke during or after combustion. Application to carbon, sulphur and nitrogen oxides, and to soot and ash. Problem of CO2 waste products: reduction in emissions, capture. Advanced techniques in producing electricity from coal. |
|
