Air and flue gas treatment, Environmental technology I

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: EMGA21

The course includes lectures, dimension design projects, and practical exercises and laboratory sessions where students practise measuring methodology and laboratory safety as well as measurement methods used in environmental analysis. The course covers the following: - Environmental chemistry as a practical tool. Correlations between different environmental problems. Using reaction rates and equilibrium constants in calculations in order to assess the significance of different reaction pathways and to calculate substance concentrations. Equilibrium between gases and liquids (Henry's law). - Stratospheric ozone - formation and degradation, natural and created catalysts, how ozone holes are formed. - Tropospheric ozone - photochemical smog, the interaction of nitrogen oxides, ozone, hydrocarbons, and light, primary and secondary pollutions. - Acidification - how nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides react into acidifying substances, alkalinity, buffer systems. - Climate change - greenhouse gases and their absorption of heat radiation, the carbonate system, aerosols, weighting of greenhouse gases. - Processing of measurement data - propagation of error, confidence interval, measurement data analysis, uncertainty assessment.
