Reihe: Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering

Air Pollution Control Engineering for Environmental Engineers is a concise yet comprehensive book that can be read and used from cover to cover, presenting topics that are fundamental for environmental engineering students, engineers, and professionals in the fields of air pollution control engineering and management. It examines topics such as regulatory approaches to managing air pollution, emissions calculations, and control technologies for various air pollutants, and includes coverage of contemporary issues such as fugitive component leak detection and repair (LDAR). Subjects covered in the specifications of Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Professional Engineering (PE) exams are also discussed.

- Updated throughout and offers a new chapter on noise pollution and offers additional coverage of greenhouse gases and their mitigation.

- Provides practical information for both engineering students and engineering professionals in the fields of air pollution control engineering and management.

- Covers subjects in the specifications of Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Professional Engineering (PE) exams relevant to air pollution control.

Über Autor(innen)

Dr. Jeff (Jih-Fen) Kuo worked in environmental engineering industries for over ten years before joining the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at California State University, Fullerton, in 1995. Areas of research in environmental engineering include dechlorination of halogenated aromatics by ultrasound, fines/bacteria migration through porous media, biodegradability of heavy hydrocarbons, surface properties of composite mineral oxides, kinetics of activated carbon adsorption, wastewater filtration, THM formation potential of ion exchange resins, UV disinfection, sequential chlorination, nitrification/denitrification, removal of target compounds using nanoparticles, persulfate oxidation of persistent chemicals, microwave oxidation for wastewater treatment, landfill gas recovery and utilization, greenhouse gases control technologies, fugitive methane emissions from the gas industry, and stormwater runoff treatment. He received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from National Taiwan University, an M.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Wyoming, an M.S. in petroleum engineering, and an M.S. and a Ph.D. in environmental engineering from the University of Southern California. He is a professional civil, mechanical, and chemical engineer registered in California.
