Air Pollution Control
Section Information
Air pollution control encompasses a range of methods used to mitigate the adverse effects on the environment caused by the release of harmful substances. A control strategy refers to a collection of specific techniques and actions that are identified and implemented with the aim of reducing air pollution, ultimately achieving compliance with air quality standards or objectives. This Section provides an in-depth examination of air pollution control strategies, engineering, and technologies, including an assessment of the performance, potential, and limitations of key control processes. Additionally, we critically analyze processes such as flare processes, thermal oxidation, catalytic oxidation, gas-phase activated carbon adsorption, and gas-phase biofiltration, along with considerations related to the design, installation, and operation of air pollution control equipment.
