Objectives of the Course To teach the students air pollution control equipments and the design principles of these equipments.
Course Content Air pollution control equipments will be investigated on the scope of this course. The laws of particle’s motion in the atmosphere will be explained. The particles and gas separation techniques and design principles will be discussed. Operating principles of the main equipments such as settling chambers, cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, bag filters, scrubbers will be described. Field application of the control equipments will be discussed. Control methods of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides will be taught to the students on the scope of this course.
