Presentation Transcript

  1. Environmental - • Major Pollutants • Major Regulations • Major Control Equipment

  2. Learning Objectives • TLW be able to describe sources of air, water, and ground pollutions

  3. Combustion Reaction

  4. Major Pollutants • SOx • NOx • VOC’s – volatile organic compounds • Particulates • Ozone (ground level) • CO

  5. Sources of Pollutants • From burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) • SOx • NOx • Particulates • CO2 • From unburned fuels and evaporation of chemicals • VOC’s • Formed in air from VOC’s and NOx (needs sunlight) • Ozone

  6. Effects of Pollution • Greenhouse effect • From CO2 • Acid Rain • From SOx and NOx • Ozone layer depletion • From VOC’s • Ground level health effects

  7. Diagram 1Example of a Properly Closed Landfill

  8. Other Environmental Incidents • Exxon Valdez Oil Spill – Alaska • BP 2010 in Gulf of Mexico
