Product Description


The objectives of this engineering textbook are to (1) provide a thorough understanding of natural and anthropogenic sources of air pollution and (2) introduce ways that pollution can be prevented or minimized by the application of pollution control practices. Control practices are described by mass and energy balances that relate removal efficiency to process input parameters. Presented in this way, future engineers can alter the design and operation of industrial processes to minimize the emission of pollutants rather than focusing solely on the capture of pollutants after they are generated.ÿ

Reader Reviews
I am an air quality control equipment designer. I have used this book for ten years as one of my primary references. The text is an excellent blend of theory and practical information. This book should be on the shelf of anyone who designs, sells, services, or buys air quality control equipment. There is practical design information you can get no where else. The section on adsorption is especially useful to me and is wonderfully written. I can not think of a more important book for air quality control engineers to buy, read and re-read.
