Lectures

Goal

Introduction to the issues and methods for reduction of environmental pollution from the combustion process.

Outcome

Acquisition of basic knowledge about the problems of environmental pollution from the combustion process and methods for pollution reduction.

Theoretical teaching

Calculation of the quantity and composition of the flue gas at different stages and for different types of fuel. Classification of the flue gases by criteria of complete combustion and toxicity - impacts on the environment. The gaseous products of combustion - formation mechanisms, the impact on the combustion process, the impact on equipment / machinery, the options for reduction (considering the mechanisms of condensation, adsorption, gas-solid and gas-liquid absorption). Methods and procedures for reduction of of sulfur and nitrogen compounds emissions. Solid particles - mechanisms of origin, impact and possibilities of flue gas cleaning.

Practical teaching

Depending on defined topics of doctoral thesis the appropriate program of experimental work on the thesis is adopted.

Attendance requirement
