Definition
Air pollution may be defined as:-the presence in the air (outdoor atmosphere) of one or more contaminants or combinations there of in such quantities and of such durations- as may be or tend to be injurious to human, animal or plant life, or property, -unreasonably interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property or conduct of business.

1. Condensations
• Applicable for waste contaminant that are: -> concentrated and have a high boiling point -> have recycle or recovery value -> recovery is impossible for mixed pollutant
stream• Mechanism: -> waste gas are treated by simultaneous cooling
and compressing
![Page 15: Waste Gas; Types and Treatments. Outline Overview Air pollutants Waste gas treatmens Biofilters](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e705503460f94b6e98e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2. Incineration
• Widely used, suitable for moderate flow rate waste
• Mechanism: -> thermal incineration involves combustion at
tempt of 700-1400 0C
-> catalytic incineration (used platinum, palladium, rubidium) at 300-7000C
• Drawbacks: -> high cost esp for low conc. Waste -> need a large amount of fuel -> produce another pollutant (Nox, dioxins)
![Page 16: Waste Gas; Types and Treatments. Outline Overview Air pollutants Waste gas treatmens Biofilters](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e705503460f94b6e98e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
3. Adsorption
• Most efficient for: -> low concentration vapour -> low vapour pressure -> high molecular weight waste gas• Common methods: -> fixed or fluidized bed of material such as
activated carbon or zeolite• Function of effectiveness: -> air flow rate -> total VOC loading
![Page 17: Waste Gas; Types and Treatments. Outline Overview Air pollutants Waste gas treatmens Biofilters](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e705503460f94b6e98e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Adsorption • Limitations: -> misjudgment of bed saturation often
encountered, bed maybe renewed before it is necessaru
-> the saturated bed materials are often treated as hazardous material
-> increasing operational cost for its treatment
-> generaly it is treated by: a. Desorption with steam or hot air b. Disposal c. incineration

4. Absorption
• Process: -> removes contaminant with a scrubbing
solutions (water mostly used) -> gas enters a large contactor -> gas are transferred to a liquid phase -> silicon oil maybe used for hydrophobic
pollutant -> after gas are transfered to liqiud, additional
treatment need to be apllied.• Drawbacks: -> need additional treatment for liquid phase (incineration. Additional wwtp)

5. Membrane Systems• The subsequent process of condensation • Process:
-> gas stream are compressed to 310-1400 kPa
-> the pressure diferential drives the membrane separation process
-> the membrane pores remain filled with water -> the organic vapour transfered through the
membrane -> the process than requires treatment of liquid
permeate for final VOC disposal

6. Biological treatments
• Utilize microbial metabolic reactions• Effective and economical for low
concentrations of contaminant in large quantities of air.
• The contaminant maybe used as energy or carbon source for microbial growth
• Most succesfull for low molecular weight and highly soluble organic compound with simple bond structure (H2S or Ammonia)
