what are the methods used to reduce the incidence of acid deposition and photochemical smog; e.g., reducing sulfur content in fuels, using catalytic converters in automobiles, smokestack scrubbers
ACID DEPOSITION:
what are the methods used to reduce the incidence of acid deposition and photochemical smog; e.g., reducing sulfur content in fuels, using catalytic converters in automobiles, smokestack scrubbers
Several methods are now adapted to reduce the incidence of acid deposition and photochemical smog which are 2 biggest threats in terms of air pollution. 3 important methods to achieve the same is discussed briefly here:
Reducing sulfur content in fuels:
Hydrodesulfurization is a catalytic reaction in which sulphur (S) is removed from petroleum products and natural gas via hydrogenolysis. The sulfur is eliminated from the fuel in the form of hydrogen sulfide, which is subsequently converted to solid sulfur, or sulfuric acid.
