Air
The didactic focus of the air subject area is the various methods for treating gaseous media (air pollution control). Most contaminants can be removed from an exhaust airflow by mechanical or thermal processes.
Air pollution control
The aim of mechanical processes is separation of particles from an exhaust gas flow (dust extraction). The separation of particulate matter in particular is of great importance.
Thermal processes are used to remove gaseous contaminants. The exhaust gas should largely be free of dust, which means mechanical cleaning needs to take place initially.
