Pollution Control Pollution control refers to downstream reduction of pollution, i.e., treatment of process streams after waste has been generated. Frequently, pollution control simply may involve the transfer pollutant from one medium to another (e.g., air pollutants to waste water).

The battery limit is a geographic boundary which deflnes the manufacturing area of the process. This includes process equipment and buildings or structures to house it but excludes boilerhouse facilities, pollution control, site infrastructure, etc. 

Several parameters come into the relation between density and equivalence ratio. Generally, the variations act in the following sense a too-dense motor fuel results in too lean a mixture causing a potential unstable operation a motor fuel that is too light causes a rich mixture that generates greater pollution from unburned material. These problems are usually minimized by the widespread use of closed loop fuel-air ratio control systems installed on new vehicles with catalytic converters. 

The increase in demand for good quality white products and the reduced consumption of fuel-oil related to pollution controls are going to be important factors in residue processing and heavy oil conversion in the years to come. 

Pollution control such as the reduction of nitrogen oxides, halocarbons and hydrocarbons from flue gases [37] is another important field of plasma-assisted chemistry using non-thennal plasmas. The efficiency of plasma chemical reactions can be enhanced by introducing catalysts into the plasma [38, 39].

Another important example of redox titrimetry that finds applications in both public health and environmental analyses is the determination of dissolved oxygen. In natural waters the level of dissolved O2 is important for two reasons it is the most readily available oxidant for the biological oxidation of inorganic and organic pollutants and it is necessary for the support of aquatic life. In wastewater treatment plants, the control of dissolved O2 is essential for the aerobic oxidation of waste materials. If the level of dissolved O2 falls below a critical value, aerobic bacteria are replaced by anaerobic bacteria, and the oxidation of organic waste produces undesirable gases such as CH4 and H2S.

Advances in fundamental knowledge of adsorption equihbrium and mass transfer will enable further optimization of the performance of existing adsorbent types. Continuing discoveries of new molecular sieve materials will also provide adsorbents with new combinations of useflil properties. New adsorbents and adsorption processes will be developed to provide needed improvements in pollution control, energy conservation, and the separation of high value chemicals. New process cycles and new hybrid processes linking adsorption with other unit operations will continue to be developed.

Because EPA was so slow in promulgating standards for HAPs prior to the 1990 Amendments, most states developed and implemented their own TAP control programs. Such programs, as well as the pollutants they regulate, differ widely from state to state. The ambient standards for a given substance are usually selected to be some small fraction of the TLV for that substance. 

Selection of pollution control methods is generally based on the need to control ambient air quaUty in order to achieve compliance with standards for critetia pollutants, or, in the case of nonregulated contaminants, to protect human health and vegetation. There are three elements to a pollution problem a source, a receptor affected by the pollutants, and the transport of pollutants from source to receptor. Modification or elimination of any one of these elements can change the nature of a pollution problem. For instance, tall stacks which disperse effluent modify the transport of pollutants and can thus reduce nearby SO2 deposition from sulfur-containing fossil fuel combustion. Although better dispersion aloft can solve a local problem, if done from numerous sources it can unfortunately cause a regional one, such as the acid rain now evident in the northeastern United States and Canada (see Atmospheric models). References 3—15 discuss atmospheric dilution as a control measure. The better approach, however, is to control emissions at the source. 

Although the first impulse for emission reduction is often to add a control device, this may not be the environmentally best or least cosdy approach. Process examination may reveal changes or alternatives that can eliminate or reduce pollutants, decrease the gas quantity to be treated, or render pollutants mote amenable to collection. Following are principles to consider for controlling pollutants without the addition of specific treatment devices, ie, the fundamental means of reducing or eliminating pollutant emissions to the atmosphere (30) ...
