SF3032 Air and Water Pollution Control and Regulations Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
Course Objective:
1. To make the students familiar with sources of air
2. To provide the knowledge on demand of good water and population forecast
3. To understand the design of basic components of water supply lines
4. To expose the students to understand the characteristics of water and its measurement
5. To depict the information on water treatment processes and its design
UNIT I
Air Pollution: Air pollutants – Air quality standards – Production, fate, effects of gaseous pollutants – Oxidesof carbon, nitrogen and Sulphur – Organic air pollutants – photochemical reactions, photochemical smog,Climatic change, Greenhouse effect, Acid rain and Ozone depletion Noise Pollution: Physical properties of sound, Noise criteria, Noise standards, Noise measurement, Noisecontrol.Oils in fresh & marine water: Sources of oil pollution – chemistry and fate of hydrocarbons – oil in run offand ground water — biodegradation – effect on aquatic organisms and communities— treatment anddisposal technology.
UNIT II QUANTITY OF WATER
Per-capita demand, design period, population forecast, fluctuation in demand General requirement: Sources of water, necessity of treatment, water quality standards for various wateruses, Intake structures – Different types & design criteria, pumping and transportation of waterPrinciples and design of aeration systems – two film theory, water in air system, air in water system
UNIT III DISINFECTION
Different types, disinfectants, factors affecting disinfection, methods of disinfection, andchemistry of chlorination. Water Softening: Ions causing hardness, Langelier index, various methods. Fluoridation and de-fluoridation – Principles and design.
UNIT IV ADSORPTION PROCESS
Types, factors affecting adsorption, kinetics and equilibrium – different isothermequations and their applications.Advanced water treatment: Ion exchange, electro-dialysis, Reverse Osmosis, Ultra filtration Distribution system design and analysis, distribution reservoirs and service reservoirs.
UNIT V SOIL POLLUTION
Soil pollutants (Inorganic, organic, pesticides, radionuclides) – sources and effects onnature and properties of soil, claps, plants arid terrestrial animals. Thermal pollution, Nuclear hazards Other environmental Issues: Sustainable development, Bio gas, Natural gas, Biodiversity, Urban problems related to energy, water scarcity, Water conservation, rain water harvesting, artificial recharge, watershed management, carbon trading, carbon foot print
