Learning Objectives
At the end of this lesson the students should
be able to;
• Understand apply the meteorological
aspects and dispersion of air pollutantaspects and dispersion of air pollutant
• Engineering assessment and application
of various methods in controlling air
pollution
![Page 3: Chapter 6 - Air Pollution 2](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051100/577c844d1a28abe054b8595a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Air Quality and Meteorology
• Air quality depends on
– wind
– sunlight
– temperature
– precipitation and humidity – precipitation and humidity
– Energy from the sun and earth’s rotation drives atmospheric circulation
• Circulation, and the resulting interactions with water and temperature differences produce the climate and weather we observe
![Page 4: Chapter 6 - Air Pollution 2](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051100/577c844d1a28abe054b8595a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Air Quality and Meteorology
• Somewhat less observable issue relates to mixing
• Easy to understand how wind and turbulence produce mixingturbulence produce mixing
• “Inherent” mixing property that derives from pressure, volume, temperature relationships
• Lapse rate – change in temperature with height (altitude)
![Page 5: Chapter 6 - Air Pollution 2](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051100/577c844d1a28abe054b8595a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Air Quality and MeteorologyFactors controlling air quality
1. Downwind distance
The air pollution will disperse as the downwind distance increases. The
further away the distance will have lower air pollution concentrations.
2. Wind speed and direction (air mixing)Wind speed also contributes to how quickly pollutants are carried away
from their original source. However, strong winds don't always dispersefrom their original source. However, strong winds don't always disperse
the pollutants. They can transport pollutants to a larger area, such as
the smoke from open burning or forest fires.
3. Atmospheric stabilityOnce pollutants are emitted into the air, the weather (atmospheric
stability) largely determines how well they disperse. Turbulence mixes
pollutants into the surrounding air. For example, during a hot summer
day, the air near the surface can be much warmer than the air above.
Sometimes large volumes of this warm air will rise to great heights.
This results in vigorous mixing.
![Page 6: Chapter 6 - Air Pollution 2](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051100/577c844d1a28abe054b8595a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Air Pollution Occurrences
• The most obvious factor influencing air pollution is the quantity of contaminants emitted into the atmosphere.
• However, when air pollution episodes take place, they are not generally the result of a drastic increase in the output of pollutants; instead, they occur because of changes in certain atmospheric conditions. changes in certain atmospheric conditions.
• Two of the most important atmospheric conditions affecting the dispersion of pollutants are:
– (1) the strength of the wind and
– (2) the stability of the air.
![Page 7: Chapter 6 - Air Pollution 2](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051100/577c844d1a28abe054b8595a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Air Mixing
• The direct effect of wind speed is to influence the
concentration of pollutants.
• Atmospheric stability determines the extent to which
vertical motions will mix the pollution with cleaner air
above the surface layers. above the surface layers.
• The vertical distance between Earth's surface and the
height to which convectional movements extend is called
the mixing depth.
• Generally, the greater the mixing depth, the better the air
quality.

Stability

– Control of principal polluting gas such as
sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, CO2 and
hydrocarbonshydrocarbons
– Passing stream of effluent gas through solid
porous material (adsorbent). The surface of
porous material attract and hold the gas by
physical or chemical adsorption

contaminated gas (absorbate or solute) into
contact with liquid absorbent (solvent)contact with liquid absorbent (solvent)
– One or more of the constituents of the effluent
gas are removed, treated or modified by the
liquid absorbent
– The amount of gas absorbed will depend on
the properties of both gas and solvent

Catalytic Converter
• A catalytic converter is a vehicle emissions control
device which converts toxic byproducts of combustion in
the exhaust of an internal combustion engine to less toxic
substances by way of catalyzed chemical reactions.
• The specific reactions vary with the type of catalyst
installed. installed.
• Most present-day vehicles that run on gasoline are fitted
with a “three-way” converter, so named because it
converts the three main pollutants in automobile exhaust:
carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbon and oxides of
nitrogen.
• The first two undergo catalytic combustion and the last is
reduced back to nitrogen.
