CCE331 Air and Noise Pollution Control Engineering Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

 To impart knowledge on the sources, effects and control techniques of air pollutants and noise pollution.

UNIT I GENERAL

Atmosphere as a place of disposal of pollutants – Air Pollution – Definition – Air Pollution and Global Climate – Units of measurements of pollutants – Air quality criteria – emission standards – National ambient air quality standards – Air pollution indices – Air quality management in India.

UNIT II SOURCES, CLASSIFICATION AND EFFECTS

Sources and classification of air pollutants – Man made – Natural sources – Type of air pollutants – Pollution due to automobiles – Analysis of air pollutants – Chemical, Instrumental and biological methods.Air pollution and its effects on human beings, plants and animals – Economic effects of air pollution – Effect of air pollution on meteorological conditions – Changes on the Meso scale, Micro scale and Macro scale.

UNIT III SAMPLING, METEOROLOGY AND AIR QUALITY MODELLING

Sampling and measurement of particulate and gaseous pollutants – Ambient air sampling – Stack sampling. Environmental factors – Meteorology – temperature lapse rate and stability – Adiabatic lapse rate – Wind Rose – Inversion – Wind velocity and turbulence – Plume behavior – Dispersion of air pollutants- Air Quality Modeling.

UNIT IV AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

Control – Source correction methods – Control equipments – Particulate control methods – Bag house filter – Settling chamber – cyclone separators – inertial devices – Electrostatic precipitator – scrubbers – Control of gaseous emissions – Absorption – Absorption equipments – adsorption and combustion devices (Theory and working of equipments only).

UNIT V NOISE POLLUTION AND ITS CONTROL

Sources of noise – Units and Measurements of Noise – Characterization of Noise from Construction, Mining, Transportation and Industrial Activities, Airport Noise – General Control Measures – Effects of noise pollution – auditory effects, non-auditory effects. Noise Menace– Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution – Control of noise at source, control of transmission, protection of exposed person – Control of other types of Noise Sound Absorbent
