How many conventional devices for control of particulate emissions?Air pollution can be defined as the presence in the outdoor atmosphere of one or more containments in such quantities

18、 and of such duration as may be injurious to human, plant, or animal life, or to property, or which may unreasonably interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property, or the conduct of business. Air pollutant sources can be categorized from several perspectives, including the type of sou

19、rce, their frequency of occurrence and spatial distribution, and the types of emissions. Characterization by source type can be delineated as arising from natural sources or from man-made sources. “Natural sources” include plant pollens, windblown dust, volcanic eruptions, and lighting-generated for

20、est fires. “Man-made sources” can include transportation vehicles, industrial processes, power plants, construction activities, and military training activities. Source characterization according to spatial distribution can be categorized as stationary source and mobile sources. Stationary sources a

21、re those that have a relatively fixed location. These include point sources, fugitive sources, and area sources. Mobile sources are emitters of air pollutants that move from place to place while yielding emissions. In this text we will mainly talk about man-made sources, it is contamination of the a

24、uct of business.The major sources of air pollution are transportation engines, power and heat generation, industrial processes, and the burning of solid waste.空气污染空气污染可以定义为室外大气中存在的一种或多种污染物，其含量和持续期可以趋向于伤害人类、植物、动物或财物，或干扰正常生活或商务行为。空气污染的主要来源是运输发动机，热电厂，工业生产过程和固体废物焚烧。Sources of air PollutionThe air pollut

25、ants can also be grouped into two categories: primary pollutants and secondary pollutants1. Primary pollutants are those emitted directly into the air. They include particulates, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons. Secondary pollutants are pollutants produced through

26、reactions between primary pollutants and normal atmospheric compounds. For example, ozone forms over urban areas through reactions of primary pollutants, sunlight, and natural atmospheric gases. The combustion of gasoline and other hydrocarbon fuels in automobiles, trucks, and jet airplanes produces

27、 several primary pollutants: nitrogen oxides, gaseous hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide, as well as large quantities of particulates, chiefly lead2. In the presence of sunlight, nitrogen oxides combine with hydrocarbons to form a secondary class of pollutants, the photochemical oxidants, among them

28、ozone and the eye-stinging peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN). Nitrogen oxides also react with oxygen in the air to form nitrogen dioxide, a foul-smelling brown gas. In urban areas like Los Angeles where transportation is the main cause of air pollution, nitrogen dioxide tints the air, blending with other co

29、ntaminants and the atmospheric water vapor to produce brown smog. Although the use of catalytic converters has reduced smog-producing compounds in motor vehicle exhaust emissions, recent studies have shown that in so doing the converters produce nitrous oxide, which contributes substantially to glob

31、es, gaseous hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide, as well as large quantities of particulates, chiefly lead.In cities, air may be severely polluted not only by transportation but also by the burning of fossil fuels (oil and coal) in generating stations, factories, office buildings, and homes and by the

32、 incineration of garbage. 空气污染源空气污染物也可以分为两类：一次污染物和二次污染物。汽车、卡车、喷气式飞机燃烧汽油和其它碳氢燃料，产生一些主要的污染物质：氧化氮，碳氢化合物，一氧化碳，还有大量的微粒，其主要成分是铅。在城市里，空气被严重污染不仅由于交通运输，也由于发电厂、工厂、办公楼、住宅里化石燃料（石油和煤炭）的燃烧以及垃圾焚烧。Definition of primary and secondary pollutants.Primary pollutants are those emitted(排放) directly into the air. They inc

33、lude particulates, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons. Secondary pollutants are pollutants produced through reactions between primary pollutants and normal atmospheric compounds. For example, ozone forms over urban areas through reactions of primary pollutants, sunlig

34、ht, and natural atmospheric gases. 一次污染物和二次污染物的定义“一次污染物”直接释放进入空气。它们包括微粒、二氧化硫、一氧化碳、氮氧化物和碳氢化合物。“二次污染物”是一次污染物与常见大气化合物反应的产物。例如，城市上空的臭氧是一次污染物、阳光与自然界大气的反应产物。Effects on Health and the EnvironmentLike photochemical pollutants, sulfur oxides contribute to the incidence of respiratory diseases. Acid rain, a f

35、orm of precipitation that contains high levels of sulfuric or nitric acids, can contaminate drinking water and vegetation, damage aquatic life, and erode buildings. When a weather condition known as a temperature inversion prevents dispersal of smog, inhabitants of the area, especially children and

36、the elderly are chronically ill, are warned to stay indoors and avoid physical stress. Even everyday levels of air pollution may insidiously affect health and behavior. Indoor air pollution is a problem in developed countries, where efficient insulation keeps pollutants inside the structure. In less

37、 developed nations, the lack of running water and indoor sanitation can encourage respiratory infections. Carbon monoxide, for example, by driving oxygen out of the bloodstream, causes apathy, fatigue, headache, disorientation, and decreased muscular coordination and visual acuity. Effects on Health

38、 and the EnvironmentEven everyday levels of air pollution may insidiously(潜在的) affect health and behavior.Air pollution may possibly harm populations in ways so subtle or slow that they have not yet been detected. A recently discovered result of air pollution are seasonal holes in the ozone layer in

39、 the atmosphere above Antarctica and the Arctic, coupled with growing evidence of global ozone depletion(臭氧耗竭).空气污染的影响每天空气污染都在不知不觉中影响着我们的健康和行为。空气污染很可能以细微缓慢不易察觉的方式危害人类。最近发现的空气污染的后果是南北极上空出现季节性的臭氧层空洞，也有越来越多的证据证明全球臭氧消耗。In different countriesIndoor air pollution is a problem in developed countries, where

40、 efficient insulation keeps pollutants inside the structure. In less developed nations, the lack of running water and indoor sanitation can encourage respiratory infections. Carbon monoxide, for example, by driving oxygen out of the bloodstream, causes apathy, fatigue, headache, disorientation, and

41、decreased muscular coordination and visual acuity. 不同国家的现状室内空气污染在发达国家是个问题，高效的隔热系统滞留了室内污染物。在欠发达国家，自来水和卫生设备的欠缺助长了呼吸道感染。例如一氧化碳，它可以赶走血液中的氧气，使人冷漠，疲劳，头痛，神志不清，肌肉协调性降低，视力下降。Solutions to Air PollutionThe conventional devices for control of particulate emissions from industrial sources are cyclones, electrost

42、atic precipitators, fabric filters, and scrubbers. Cyclonic collectors are round conically shaped vessels in which the gas stream enters tangentially and follows a spiral path to the outlet. The spiral motion produces the centrifugal forces that cause the particulate matter to move toward the periph

43、ery of the vessel and collect on the walls and fall to the bottom of the vessel. Fabric filters, i. e., baghouses, usually consist of tubular bags made of woven synthetic fabric or fiberglass, in which the dirty gases pass through the fabric while the particulates are collected on the upstream side

44、by the filtering action of the fabric. The dust retained on the bags periodically shaken off and falls into a collecting hopper for removal. Wet scrubbers use water “sprays” to collect and remove particulates. They may generally be classified as low and high energy scrubbers. Low energy scrubbers of

45、 1 to 6 inches of pressure drop may consist of simple spray towers, packed towers or impingement plate towers, which find frequently application in incinerators, fertilizer manufacturing, lime kilns, and iron foundries. The high energy scrubber, or Venturi, imparts high velocity to the gas stream by

46、 means of converging-diverging dust section, and contacts the stream with injected water. The Venturi scrubber is often used in conjunction with steel furnaces, pulp mills and foundry cupolas. The principal mechanisms of the wet collectors are: 1) increasing the size of the particles by combination

47、with liquid droplets thereby increasing their size so they may be collected more easily; 2) trapping them in liquid film and washing them away. Electrostatic precipitators are particularly suited for gas streams which can be easily ionized and which contain either liquid or solid particulate matter.

48、 The operating principle requires three basic steps: 1) electrical charging of the suspended particulates; 2) collection of the charged particulate matters on a grounded collection surface; 3）removal of the particulates from the collecting surface by mechanical scrubbing or flushing with liquids.Sol

49、utions to Air PollutionThe conventional devices for control of particulate emissions from industrial sources are cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters, and scrubbers.We should control air pollution not only from the aspect of technology, but also from the aspect of international laws

50、.The most satisfactory long-term solutions to air pollution may well be the elimination of fossil fuels and the ultimate replacement of the internal-combustion engine.空气污染的解决办法用于控制工业污染源颗粒释放的常规装置有旋风除尘器、静电除尘器、布袋除尘器和涤气器。人类不仅要在技术方面还要在国际法律方面控制污染。最有效的解决空气污染的长远方案就是消除化石燃料的使用并最终替换内燃机。Classification of conven
