Scavenging aerosol particles by means of water sprays is an efficient way of removing hazardous dust from the atmosphere. Starting from the work of Wang et al. (1978), we propose to extend its formulation of a theoretical scavenging kernel to particles…

Scavenging aerosol particles by droplets is an efficient way of removing solid particles from gases. Despite its interest for both industrial applications and occupational health, predicting realistic removal rates by means of a simple collection…

Indoor air quality can be strongly affected by high aerosol particles concentration. When ventilation is not possible, aerosol scavenging by water sprays can be applied to protect workers. But, despite its interest for both industrial applications…

Scavenging aerosol particles by droplets is an efficient way of removing hazardous particles from gases. Therefore, predicting removal rates by means of a realistic collection kernel is a purpose in several research fields like environment…

This study proposes a modeling strategy for the determination of photocatalytic reaction kinetics in supported reactors. The packed bed studied is designed to degrade formaldehyde and is composed of TiO2-coated Raschig rings. The original…

By spraying judiciously placed drops of water, you can reduce dust emissions at source or purify polluted air. But the use of this preventive measure cannot be improvised: it requires careful design to be truly effective, and can give rise to numerous…

In swimming pool water, chlorine reacts with nitrogen-containing compounds to produce disinfection by-products such as trichloramine (NCl3) which induces ocular and respiratory irritations in swimming pool workers. This paper describes…

Outline of reasons and objectives
In France, the number of workers exposed to formaldehyde totals 190,000 spread across over one hundred professions. The need to provide prevention solutions for reducing the exposure of workers exposed to formaldehyde…

The work presented here proposes a model to predict the NCl3 concentration over time in a traditional indoor swimming pool, based on its operating parameters and attendance. The approach used relies on the chemical kinetics of NCl3 formation…
