Chemical Processes for Pollution Prevention and Control

This book examines how chemistry, chemical processes, and transformations are used for pollution prevention and control. Pollution prevention reduces or eliminates pollution at the source, whereas pollution control involves destroying, reducing, or managing pollutants that cannot be eliminated at the source. Applications of environmental chemistry are further illustrated by nearly 150 figures, numerous example calculations, and several case studies designed to develop analytical and problem solving skills. The book presents a variety of practical applications and is unique in its integration of pollution prevention and control, as well as air, water, and solid waste management.

• Offers unique coverage in its integration of pollution prevention and control, as well as air, water, and solid waste management.
• Examines chemical transformations and the supporting separations related to pollution prevention.
• Focuses on the fundamental calculations that are useful for preliminary design, as well as process synthesis and invention.
• Includes several case studies designed to develop analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Adds an additional 200 homework problems and solutions for instructors.
