  1. CHEE 481 Air Quality Management E.W. Grandmaison Room 205A, Dupuis Hall ted.grandmaison@chee.queensu.ca http://www.chemeng.queensu.ca/courses/CHEE481/ Course T.A. Kevin Payne kevin.payne@chee.queensu.ca

  2. Lecture schedule: • Slot 11 – Monday @ 11:30, Tuesday @ 1:30 and Thursday @ 12:30. • Walter Light Hall, Room 210 • Bring course notes Due to a conference commitment, lectures during the week of Sept. 27 and Oct. 4 will be cancelled and made up later

  3. Course reference material: • CHEE 481 course notes (minor revisions from last year) available from the Campus Bookstore ~$15.

  4. Method of evaluation: Best mark calculated from: • 1/3 mid term tests (2) + 2/3 final examination, Or • 25% mid term tests (2) + 25% assignments (3) + 50% final examination.

  5. Course Objectives: • Students from many disciplines may be confronted with air pollution problems during the course of their careers. • Treat air pollution problems from an industrial perspective. • How does control equipment work? • If it doesn’t work, how do you fix it? • How do you design equipment for process changes (meeting regulatory and operational demands)?

  6. Course content: • Course units – 36 AU (0/0/0/20/16). • 20 AU of Engineering Science – first part of the course deals with background on fluid-particle behaviour. • 16 AU of Engineering Design – second part of the course deals with design of control equipment and emission impact.

  7. Engineering Science: Particulate properties (3) Gas properties (2) Fluid-particle systems (3) Particle diffusion (2) Particle coagulation (1) Gas stream & stack sampling (1) Nitrogen oxides (3) Odour pollution (1) Plume dispersion (3) Engineering Design: Gravity settling chambers (2) Cyclone separators (3) Electrostatic precipitators (2) Particulate filtration (2) Gas scrubbers (2) Plume dispersion (4) Course topics:

  8. A sample spreadsheet for design of a cyclone separator

  9. Concerns of public interest (I): • Smog - related to NOX, SOX, VOCs and particulates

  10. Concerns of public interest (II): • Green House Gases (GHG) - related to CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6

  11. From Appendix A in course notes: Trends in GHG emissions and economic indicators for selected years (1990-2008) reported by Environment Canada

  12. Concerns of public interest (III): … Or concerns the public should raise … • What problems will new energy technologies bring ? • New problems with micro-pollutants; particulates (PM-10 and PM-2.5) & gas species?

  13. Regulations under different jurisdictions: • Federal Department of the Environment • Provincial Departments of the Environment New processes or changes to existing processes with potential air pollution impact normally require a “Certificate of Approval” (Ontario terminology).

  14. Homework: • Pick up course notes from Campus Bookstore (~$15). • Useful to bring these notes to class.
