| Course contents : | Partim A. Léonard
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 waste products of CO2: reduction in emissions, capture. Advanced techniques in electrical production from coal.
Partim B. A-C Romain
The first part presents atmospheric pollution
-composition, structure and chemistry of atmosphere
-main pollutants, their origin and their impacts, associated vocabulary, regulation, measurement network in Belgium, standards
The second part presents major measurement techniques of gaseous pollutants
-operating principle (chemical sensors, spectroscopy, detectors)
-instrument selection according to different criteria |
|
| Course objective : | Partim. A Léonard
Discussion of the means and techniques allowing to minimise the production of pollutants, in relation with energy production.
Partim B. A-C Romain
The student will be able to understand the operating procedure of instruments, to select the measurement technique in regards to the various variables of the problematic and to discuss the results in the context of environmental regulation |
|
| Prerequisites : | Bachelor degree including a course of basic chemistry. Notions of thermochemistry and of the kinetics of fossil fuel combustion are helpful. |
|
| Workshops : | Partim B
A visit of a laboratory followed by a seminar concerning the air pollution measurment in industrial stacks is organised. |
|
| Organization : | The course takes place during the first quadrimester (Contact S. Thomas)

Partim A. Léonard : videoconfrence from Liège
Partim B. A-C Romain: The lecture is given in modules covering each a half-day of 4 hours (1 credit=3 half-days) at the Arlon campus. |
|
| Written notes : | Electronic version of the course
Partim B : Lecture notes (ppt + documentation) |
|
| Assessment : | Each professor questions the student by his own manner, but the global score is calculated as the average of each chapter score.
According to the lecturer, the examination could be oral or written. |
