Pollution Control Equipment and Environmental Protection

By William Zadorsky ()

ABSTRACT. Low-waste, economically viable processes were developed for production of monocarboxylic acids, amides, ortho-titanic acid, and 1,4-dioxane.

Air pollution control equipment was developed that uses improved mass transfer patterns enabling wide ranges of allowable loads, low pressure drops, adaptability, column plate apparatuses with special valves and contact devices, cocurrent air lifts with multiple phase inversion, diffusion phoresis, conducting-partition filters, and acoustic promoters of mass transfer.

Systems were designed that remove chemical and bacterial pollutants and radionuclides from and ozonize waste water, and perform deep purification of liquids and electrochemical treatment of waste water.

DEGREE OF COMMERCIALIZATION. The developments were tested and implemented at some plants in the CIS.

TECHNICAL DATA AND COST PERFORMANCE. Considerable improvements in environmental and cost performance were observed.

MARKET PENETRATION. The developments are offered for implementation in projects for new construction or environmental upgrading of existing plants.

KEY WORDS. Synthesis, monocarboxylic acids, amides, ortho-titanic acid, 1,4-dioxane, air pollution, pollution abatement, liquid purification, waste water treatment, electrochemical processing, ozonation, chemical pollutants, bacterial pollutants, radionuclides.
