Abstract For decades, wet scrubbers have been used to control particulate matter (PM) emitted by bagasse-fired boilers in the sugarcane industry. This choice was justified their acceptable performance meeting environmental standards, abundance of water resources, and fact that operation simpler less expensive than other dry cleaning operations. However, progressive tightening PM emission limits...

Under clean and green revolution programme, an urgent need has been felt to develop mitigation devices and pollution control instruments. Through this paper, discussion has been made on pollution thrust emanating in atmosphere from stacks and its control through indigenous technology and control instruments developed in India to meet the techno-economical needs of country. Main emphasis has bee...

Compounds with primary amino groups react with o-phthalaldehyde in solution to yield highly fluorescent products. This reaction is now in wide use for detecting amino acids and amines in liquid-chromatography effluents. We report here a method for using o-phthalaldehyde to detect primary amines in the effluent of a gas-liquid-chromatographic column. The effluent gas, nominally 20 mL/min, is del...

The Greenidge Multi-Pollutant Control Project is being conducted at the 107-MW AES Greenidge Unit 4 as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Power Plant Improvement Initiative (PPII) to demonstrate an innovative combination of technologies that is well-suited for reducing emissions from the nation’s large fleet (~60 GW) of smaller coal-fired units. The technologies, which include a NOxO...

An absorption system has been combined with an electrochemical cell to treat a gaseous stream polluted toluene. Toluene retention in 3 h operation tests was higher than 87.0% the case of treating single scrubbing, 97.0% using electro-scrubbing and over 99.0% cobalt-mediated electro-scrubbing. It found that amount toluene escapes from electro-scrubber does not only depend on flow rate but also c...
