Concern for the potential health effects of inhaled particulates led to a federal standard governing coarse particles, or PM10, for particles below 10 ¿m and subsequently to a fine particle (PM2.5) standard in 1997, for particles below 2.5 ¿m. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) retained the PM10 standard because all particles below 10 ¿m can penetrate into the pulmonary region. Be ...

Acrolein has been identified by the U.S. Clean Air Act as a hazardous air pollutant because of its adverse health effect, particularly on respiratory systems. There are both anthropogenic and natural sources of acrolein in the environment. Acrolein is produced by combustion sources (e.g., vehicle exhaust, prescribed agricultural burning, cigarette smoke) and industrial sources, i ...

Acrolein (CH2 = CHCHO) is a toxic unsaturated aldehyde that has been classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) because of its adverse health effect, particularly on respiratory systems. There are both anthropogenic and natural sources of acrolein in the environment. Acrolein is produced by combustion sources (e.g., vehicle exhaust, prescribed a ...

If the QRCFC penetrated just 20% of the truck APU market, it will result in the reduction of over 12,000 tons of NOx, 20160 tons of CO, 544 tons of particulate, and 1.5 million tons of CO2 emissions each year. Besides this important application, the QRCFC could also provide similar benefits to military and civilian boat, mobile power and remote power applications. These represent a market of ove ...

SEVERAL EXHAUST GAS NOX ABATEMENMT PROCESSES EXIST BASED ON HETEROGENEOUS REACTION OF A REDUCED NITROGEN CONTAINING ADDITIVE SUCH AS NH3. THESE EXISTING PROCESSES ARE NOT ADEQUATETO MEET PROPOSED NOX EMISSIONS REGULATIONS FOR MOST RETROFITPOWER PLANT STACKS AND INCINERATORS. THE INVESTIGATORS PRO-POSE TO TEST COMBINATIONS OF ADDITIVES AND CATALYSTS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD TO A NEW PROCESS ...

A NEW METHOD FOR REMOVING ACID RAIN PRECURSORS FROM COAL-FIRED BOILERS HAS BEEN CONCEIVED. THE CONCEPT INVOLVESA TAIL-END SCRUBBER RETROFIT FOR INSTALLATION IN PLANTS WHICH PRE-DATE THE 1970 CLEAN AIR ACT. THE CONCEPT IS HIGHLY INNOVATIVE AND HAS MANY ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER SORBENTINJECTION PROCESSES. HETEROGENEOUS REACTIONS BETWEEN SO2 AND CALCIUM-BASED SORBENTS ARE AFFECTED BY THE MASS TRANSFER B ...
