Pollutants removing

Chemical Oxidation. Chemical oxidation can be appHed ia iadustrial wastewater pretreatment for reduction of toxicity, to oxidize metal complexes to enhance heavy metals removal from wastewaters, or as a posttreatment for toxicity reduction or priority pollutant removal. 

Removal Processes. Pollutant removal processes, particularly dry deposition and scavenging by rain and clouds, are a primary factor in determining the dynamics and ultimate fate of pollutants in the atmosphere.

The equipment for the pollutant removal system includes all hoods, ducting, controls, fans, and disposal or recovery systems that might be necessary. The entire system should be engineered as a unit for maximum efficiency and economy. Many systems operate at less than maximum efficiency because a portion of the system was designed or adapted without consideration of the other portions (4). 

One of the methods of controlling air pollution mentioned in the previous chapter was pollution removal. For pollution removal to be accomplished, the polluted carrier gas must pass through a control device or system, which collects or destroys the pollutant and releases the cleaned carrier gas to the atmosphere. The control device or system selected must be specific for the pollutant of concern. If the pollutant is an aerosol, the device used will, in most cases, be different from the one used for a gaseous pollutant. If the aerosol is a dry solid, a different device must be used than for liquid droplets. 

Inorganic Gases Control - Water is the most common solvent used to remove inorganic contaminants. Pollutant removal may be enhanced by manipulating the chemistry of the absorbing solution so that it reacts with the pollutant. Caustic solution ... 

Packed-tower wet scrubber A gas scrubber that removes gases and vapors, by using either v/ater or a chemical liquid method. Efficient pollutant removal depends on the contact time between the entering gas stream and the wetted surface of the pack in the tower. This type of scrubber can be classified as... 

No plant-specific identification number was available for this facility. The wastewater from Plant B contains pollutants from both metals processing and finishing operations. It is treated by precipitation-settling followed by filtration with a rapid sand filter. A clarifier is used to remove much of the solids load. Table 5.14 summarizes the data on pollutant removal efficiency at Plant B. 

Most of the pollutants may be effectively removed by precipitation of metal hydroxides or carbonates using a reaction with lime, sodium hydroxide, or sodium carbonate. For some, improved removals are provided by the use of sodium sulfide or ferrous sulfide to precipitate the pollutants as sulfide compounds with very low solubilities. After soluble metals are precipitated as insoluble floes, one of the water-solid separators (such as dissolved air flotation, sedimentation, centrifugation, membrane filtration, and so on) can be used for floes removal.911 The effectiveness of pollutant removal by several different precipitation methods is summarized in Tables 5.15-5.17. 

Other sludge dewatering technologies used include vacuum filtration, centrifugation, and sludge bed drying. No pollutant removability data are currently available for this industry.

It is worth noting that there are preparation stages of the plant biomass before they can be used for pollutants removal, in the case of rhizofiltration and bioadsorbents-based systems (Figure 10.2), which may increase the investment and operational costs. On the contrary, the lagoons and CWs are designed to process the influents in one single stage. 

Another critical part of the incinerator design is the pollution control system.11 Pollution control systems directly influence the levels and kinds of pollutants that are released and that can potentially reach the public. Most modern hazardous waste incinerators are designed with extensive air pollution removal systems. For example, a common pollution control system might include a system that cools or quenches gases produced by burning waste, followed by a system that reduces acid gas emissions, and ultimately followed by a particulate removal system such as fabric filters (bag-houses), electrostatic precipitators, venturi scrubbers, and others.10...
