According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 2 million premature deaths are caused each year due to air pollution in cities across the world . A recent study has revealed that exposure to fine particle matter in polluted air increases the risk of hospitalization due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases The Atmosphere 78 percent nitrogen 21 percent oxygen 0.09 percent Argon Carbon Dioxide 0.03 percent Trace elements 0.07 percent • • • • • Methane, ozone, hydrogen sulfide, carbon – monoxide, etc... Water vapor can range from 0 to 4% • Air Pollution Definition: The addition of harmful substances to the atmosphere resulting in damage to the environment, human health, and quality of life. Just one of many forms of pollution, air pollution occurs inside homes, schools, and offices; in cities; across continents; and globally. Ambient (outdoor) air pollution is the focus of this presentation. Stratospheric Ozone 1 atm 101 kPa (From: Introduction to Environmental Engineering G. Masters, 2nd and 3rd eds.) Causes of Air Pollution Coal Plants Car Exhaust These plants let off small, airborne particles. These particles are known as soot. Sulfur Dioxides are also gases given off by these plants. The exhaust that comes out of the tail pipe of a car contains carbon monoxide, Ozone an odorless, colorless gas, and Nitrogen Oxide. These Chemicals found in paint and hair spray gases are produced as the create hazardous pollutants with highly car burns gasoline. toxic effects. These pollutants form the ground level ozone. Factories Factories emit tons of harmful chemicals into atmosphere on a daily basis. Ammonia gases is just one emitted from these factories.

An active adult inhales 10,000 to 20,000 liters of air each day, or 7 to 14 liters every minute. Types of Air Pollution Primary air pollutants: harmful chemicals that enter directly into the atmosphere. Secondary air pollutants: harmful chemicals that form from other substances in the atmosphere. Examples of Catastrophic Air Pollution 1911 in London - 1150 died from the effects of coal smoke. Author of the report coined the word smog for the mix of smoke and fog that hung over London. 1952 in London - 4000 died from smog. 1948 in Donora, Penn. Town of 14,000 people - 20 died and 6000 were ill from smog from the community's steel mill, zinc smelter, and sulfuric acid plant. 1963 in New York City - 300 people died from air pollution. London Smog 1952 London Smog 1952 In 13th century London - laws against burning outside because London was already heavily polluted since the middle ages London Smog 1952 A Brief History 1930s-60s: severe air pollution episodes: Meuse Valley, Belgium, Donora, Pennsylvania, London, U.K. 1960s-70s: introduction of clean air legislation 1970s-80s: significant reduction in ambient concentrations of many pollutants 1980s, early 1990s: studies demonstrating adverse effects even at lower levels of exposure Mid to late 1990s: large number of studies replicated findings worldwide Late 1990s-present: evaluation of nuances of associations observed in epidemiological • • • • • • Local and Regional Pollution •Pollution sources tend to be concentrated in cities. •In the weather phenomenon known as thermal inversion, a layer of cooler air is trapped near the ground by a layer of warmer air above. Normal air mixing is greatly diminished and pollutants remain trapped in the lower layer. •Smog is intense local pollution usually trapped by a thermal inversion. This cloud of smog was typical of the skyline hovering over Los Angeles in the 1940s and 1950s. تاریخچه و حوادث تاریخي آلودگي هوا ) حادثه دره میوزبلژیك در روز اول دسامبر 1930به علت وجود وارونگي هوا و تراكم آاليندههاي خروجي از صنايع ،اسيد سولفوريك ،شيشه سازي و تهيه روي 60نفرانسان و تعداد زيادي گاو و گوسفند تلف شدند. البته حالت وارونگي حدود 5روز طول كشيده و بيشتر مرگ و ميرها در روزهاي چهارم و پنجم دسامبر گزارش شده است. غلظت SO2هوا طي روزهاي فوق ،تا 38قسمت در ميليون بوده است.

Effects of Air Pollution on Plants Air pollution weakens plants by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or exposing them to toxic substances slowly released from the soil. Quite often, injury or death of plants is a result of these effects of acid rain in combination with one or more additional threats. Welfare Effects of Air Pollution Effects of Pollution on Buildings For limestone, the acidic water reacts with the calcium to form calcium sulfate: CaCO3 + H2SO4 CaSO4 + 2H+ + CO32- The calcium sulfate is soluble so it is easily washed away during the next rain storm.

Simply put, catalysts are substances which, when added to a reaction, increase the rate of reaction by providing an alternate reaction pathway with a lower activation energy (Ea). They do this by promoting proper orientation between reacting particles. In biochemistry, catalysts are known as enzymes. Catalytic Converters One common application for catalysts is for catalytic converters. Catalytic converters are found in automobiles. Their role is to reduce to emissions of harmful gases (CO, VOC’s, NOx) that are the result of the combustion of fuel in vehicle engines. Specifics of Catalytic Converters Most modern cars are equipped with three-way catalytic converters. "Three-way" refers to the three regulated emissions it helps to reduce -- carbon monoxide, VOCs and NOx molecules. The converter uses two different types of catalysts, a reduction catalyst and an oxidization catalyst. Both types consist of a honeycomb-shaped ceramic structure coated with a metal catalyst, usually platinum, rhodium and/or palladium. A: Reduction Catalyst B: Oxidation Catalyst C: Honeycomb Ceramic Structure Step 1: The Reduction Catalyst The reduction catalyst is the first stage of the catalytic converter. It uses platinum and rhodium to help reduce the NOx emissions. When an NO or NO2 molecule contacts the catalyst, the catalyst rips the nitrogen atom out of the molecule and holds on to it, freeing the oxygen in the form of O2. The nitrogen atoms bond with other nitrogen atoms that are also stuck to the catalyst, forming N2. The equation for this is as follows: 2 NO => N2 + O2 or 2 NO2 => N2 + 2 Step 2: The Oxidization Catalyst The oxidation catalyst is the second stage of the catalytic converter. It reduces the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide by burning (oxidizing) them over a platinum and palladium catalyst. This catalyst aids the reaction of the CO and hydrocarbons with the remaining oxygen in the exhaust gas. The equation for this process is as follows: 2 CO + O2 => 2 CO2 Once this process is complete, most of the harmful substances have been broken down into harmless ones such as N2, O2, and CO2. Catalysts in Industry Of course, reducing vehicle emissions is not the only area in which catalysts can prove useful. The petrochemical industry also makes great use of them in various processes. One of these processes, called catalytic cracking, is detailed below. Catalytic cracking is the name given to the breaking up of large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more useful pieces. Catalytic Cracking: Part 1: Hydrocarbons are the result of the fractional distillation of gas oil from crude oil (petroleum). These fractions are obtained from the distillation process as liquids, but are re-vaporised before cracking. The hydrocarbons are mixed with a very fine catalyst powder. These days, the catalysts are zeolites (complex alumniosilicates). In the past, the catalyst used was aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide, however, these are much less efficient than the modern zeolite. The whole mixture (hydrocarbons and zeolites) is blown through a reaction chamber at a temperature of about 500 C. The catalyst is recovered afterwards, and the cracked mixture is further separated by cooling and fractional distillation. CATALYTIC CONVERTERS •Catalytic converters remove harmful gases from car exhausts. •It consists of a honeycomb of ceramic with metals such as platinum,palladium and rhodium coated on the honeycomb •It removes up to 90% of the harmful gases Catalytic converter CO Nox C8H18 CO2 N2 H2O EQUATIONS FOR REACTIONS IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER 2 CO + 2 NO C8H18 + 25 NO 2 CO2 + N2 8 CO2 +12 1/2 N2 +9 H2O EXAMPLES OF POISONING OF CATALYSTS Leaded petrol cannot be used in cars fitted with a catalytic converter since lead strongly absorbs onto the surface of the catalyst Cannot use copper or nickel in a catalytic converter on a car instead of the expensive platinum or Rhodium. REASON :- Any SO2 present in the exhaust fumes (trace amounts ) would poison the catalyst Once the catalytic converter has become inactive it cannot be regenerated Control of exhaust for unburned HC and CO involves: fuel modifications minimizing pollutants from the combustion chamber - better engineering of motors oxidation of pollutants outside the combustion chamber - either by normal combustion, or by catalytic oxidation. Requires pumping of air to the exhaust stream. To lower NOx, two systems are used: exhaust gas recirculation sends part of the exhaust stream back into the intake manifold which reduces the combustion temperature and decreases NOx production (tolerated when ``power'' is not required); a second catalytic converter can be used in series with the HC/CO converter to decompose NOx to O and N.

This premixed combustion phase accounts for only a fraction of the fuel and causes a pressure peak The remainder of the fuel burns under mixing controlled combustion causing a more gradual pressure increase, and then decline with expansion DIESEL NOx FORMATION CHARACTERISTICS Most NOx formed during the high T and P premixed combustion phase NOx formation can be reduced effectively by reducing flame temperature: delay combustion into the expansion phase cool the air charge going into the cylinder exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) PARAMETERS AFFECTING DIESEL PM AND HC EMISSIONS Air/Fuel ratio, generally lean overall, to allow for complete combustion within limited time available for mixing Minimum = 1.5 for smoke point, smoke increases dramatically below this limit Rate of air-fuel mixing, can be enhanced by imparting a swirl to the injected fuel fuel injection timing compression ratio temperature and composition of charge in the cylinder DIESEL VISIBLE SMOKE Black smoke : from soot White, blue or gray smoke: condensed hydrocarbon droplets in the exhaust Blue or gray generally due to vaporized lubricant White due to cold start Sulfur in the fuel forms sulfuric acid which is later sampled as PM Table 13.5 de Nevers Comparison of gasoline and diesel engines VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL Emissions ( km travelled )( emissions / km) Control technology is aimed at reducing the second term: fuels, engines, vehicles etc. Urban and transportation planning addresses the first term: housing density, location, transportation infrastructure the second term is relatively insensitive to the number of passengers in the vehicle Increasing vehicle occupancy helps reduce emissions: mass transit, car pooling etc. CONTROL TECHNOLOGY - SI Air/Fuel ratio.

Adsorption during hot-soak, diurnal heat build (breathing), refuelling periods, desorption into the air intake during engine operation (regeneration) CONTROL TECHNOLOGY - CI PM and NOx more important in diesel exhaust than CO and HC, relative to gasoline exhaust A general trade-off between PM and NOx exists although reductions in absolute levels of both emissions have been achieved Emissions more strongly dependent on engine design - most emission reductions so far have been achieved through combustion modifications rather than exhaust aftertreatment in contrast to gasoline engine emissions DIESEL PM FORMATION CHARACTERISTICS Particulate Matter forms in fuel rich zones primarily during the mixing controlled combustion phase mostly an aggregate chain carbon core (soot) adsorbed hydrocarbons (aliphatic and polyaromatic): soluble organic fraction (SOF) significant fraction of SOF may come from lubricating oil Most of the PM formed during combustion is subsequently burned during the expansion stroke, the unburned part forms the emissions Sulfur in the fuel forms sulfuric acid which is later sampled as PM DIESEL EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT Flow through oxidation catalyst (two-way catalytic convertor) for reduction of CO and VOC (80%), and PM SOF (20-30%), does not retain PM Trap oxidizer (Diesel particulate filter), reduce PM by 95%, filter + oxidation (regeneration) functions active and passive regeneration types Passive regeneration: catalyst coated onto trap or added to fuel bring regeneration temperature down to 400-450 C which can be achieved in diesel exhaust Active regeneration monitors PM build-up on the trap and triggers regeneration by diesel fuel burning, electric heating, catalyst injection DPF from ICT-Umicore CD DPF detail from M.Walsh EXHAUST EMISSION MEASUREMENT Simulated driving conditions Mass Emission rates in g/km for light duty vehicles (LDV) on a chassis dynamometer Mass Emission rates in g/kWh for heavy duty (HD, diesel) engines on an engine dynamometer Actual driving conditions “On-board” measurement systems Tunnel studies Remote sensing, g/L of fuel burned EVAPORATIVE EMISSION MEASUREMENT SHED Test, Sealed Housing Evaporative Determination Carbon canisters attached to various points on vehicle to adsorb HC vapors DRIVING OR OPERATING CYCLES Actual vs Synthesized Transient, steady state, multi-mode Modal analysis: Acceleration Cruise Deceleration Idle EMISSION FACTORS Amount of pollutant emitted per unit activity: g/km, (distance travelled) g/kWh, (mechanical energy delivered) g/L, (quantity of fuel burned) For a single vehicle with given engine and emission control technology, the factors that influence the emission factor are: speed, acceleration/deceleration, trip length, ambient temperature Vehicles with similar size, engine, and emission technology may be expected to show similar emission behaviour EMISSION FACTORS AND EMISSION MODELLING Regulated emissions from new vehicles vs emissions from inuse vehicles Emissions surveillance program to test emissions from thousands of in-use vehicles at different ages in the U.S. Emission modelling from motor vehicles involves the consideration of different types of vehicles and their driving conditions to arrive at a grand total Emissions ( km travelled )( emissions / km) INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS Field studies suggest that more than 50% of motor vehicle pollution may come from less than 10% of vehicles which have poorly maintained or malfunctioning emission control devices Inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs aimed at identifying such gross-emitter vehicles and ensuring the repair of their emission control systems are becoming more important in the face of reduced emission regulations for new vehicles Remote sensing of CO, HC, and NOx, along with CO2 offers both I/M and fuel-based emission inventory advantages I/M PROGRAMS Emission control technology for LDGV very effective;
