Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of controlling atmospheric air pollution, in particular to a method for accelerating the vertical convective movement of the atmosphere by using shock waves.
- the technical problem solved by the present invention is to treat atmospheric air pollution especially caused by the inversion layer. Appearance of the inversion layer prevents the air circulation which reduces the concentration of the pollutants near the cities.
- the technical solution proposed by the present invention is:
- the present disclosure describes a method for treating the air pollution by using shock waves.
- the shock waves are generated by using a shock wave generator which is installed in the desired location.
- the shock wave generator can be placed on the ground surface and/or on the higher height especially same as the inversion layer height.
- the shock waves can be shot vertically or horizontally regarding to the location of the shock wave generator.
- the shock waves have at least 120dB power level which can be generated by anti-hail device as a result of loud explosion.
- the shock waves move the cold air molecules and pollutants, which leads to subversion of the inversion layer. Moreover, the air and pollutants flow to the higher height will be possible which causes a reduction in the concentration of the pollutants particles.
- FIG. 1A illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the disclosed method comprising a shock wave generator placed on the ground surface near a power plant and polluted environment;
- Fig. IB illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the disclosed method comprising a shock wave generator placed on the ground surface in which the inversion layer has been destroyed by vertical shot shock waves;
- Fig. 1C illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the disclosed method comprising a shock wave generator placed on the ground surface in which cold air and pollutant flow to the higher altitude is formed due to the shock waves;
- Fig. ID illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the disclosed method comprising a shock wave generator placed on the height same as the inversion layer;
- Fig. IE illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the disclosed method comprising a shock wave generator placed on the height same as the inversion layer in which the inversion layer has been destroyed by horizontal shot shock waves, which eventually leads to cold air and pollutant flow to the higher altitude.
- references herein to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “some embodiments,” “one or more embodiments,” “one exemplary embodiment,” “an exemplary embodiment,” “some exemplary embodiments,” and “one or more exemplary embodiments” indicate that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in connection or association with the embodiment can be included in at least one of such embodiments. However, the appearance of such phrases in various places in the present disclosure do not necessarily refer to a same embodiment or embodiments.
- the term ” intended target” as used in the present disclosure may be used to refer to the pollutants, pollutants particles, layer of concentrated pollutants below the inversion layer, interface between the inversion layer and cold layer below that.
- pollution particle and “PM2.5” as used in the present disclosure may be used interchangeably to refer to the pollutants.
- PM2.5 in air pollution, is known to those skilled in the art.
- the present disclosure relates to an exemplary method for treating air pollution by using the shock waves, specifically addresses to the problem of atmospheric pollution caused by the inversion layer; the method disclosed herein includes one or more shock waves generator(s), producing and shooting the shock waves toward the intended target.
- a shock wave generator is used to produce shock waves and shoots toward the intended target.
- the power level of the generated shock waves are more than 120dB at a distance of 10 meters higher than the generator. It should be mentioned that the shock wave as a kind of longitudinal wave, causes PM 2.5 oscillate after colliding with them. It should be mentioned that the 120dB power level does not limit the shock waves with lower power level which can make the desired momentum for the particles and they are also within the scope of the present invention.
- the shock waves can be produced by a loud explosion. As an example, loud explosion can be made by detonating acetylene gas.
- Exemplary embodiments consist of an anti-hail device in which the shock waves are achieved by the explosion of the acetylene gas and a large conical barrel is used to direct the sound waves upward. It should be mentioned that the anti-hail device and gas explosion as shock waves generator do not limit other ways of obtaining shock waves, and they are also within the scope of the present invention.
- FIG. 1A illustrates exemplary embodiments of the using shock waves for treating the air pollution near a power plant 101.
- the shock wave generator 102 can be placed on the ground so that the shock waves 103 are shot upward, toward the inversion layer 104, PM 2.5 105, and cold air molecules 106.
- shock wave generator 102 for treating the air pollution, is turned on and frequently shooting the shock waves 103 upward.
- shock waves 103 can produced by 10 to 30 seconds intervals, repeating for at least 10 minutes. It should be noted that the mentioned frequency of shock waves generation does not limit other schedules for shock waves generation and they are also within the scope of the present invention.
- each PM 2.5 105 oscillating and moving upward which simultaneously hit about thousands of cold air molecules 106 and the collision steadily continues.
- the cold air molecules 106 received momentum in the vertical direction, which is transferred to the other cold air molecules 106 during the perpendicular displacement.
- about billions of cold air molecules 106 in 200 and 500 meters height move to the 10 and 1.5 meters higher, respectively.
- air molecules above the inversion layer is colder 107 than the air molecules 106 below that.
- an intermittent shooting of the shock waves 103 results in much more displacement of the cold air molecules 106. For example, shooting the shock waves 103 every 30 seconds for 10 minutes, transports billions of cold air molecules 106 in 200 meters height to the higher and imported to the inversion layer 104.
- the inversion layer 104 because of cold air molecules 106 entering the inversion layer 104, its temperature decreases, and more cold air molecules 106 have been directed to this area, accelerating the cooling rate of the inversion layer 104 and entry rate of the cold air molecules 106 into the layer.
- the presence of much more cold air molecules 106 in the inversion layer 104 is responsible for the inversion layer subversion, transferring cold air molecules 106 to the colder layer 107.
- the PM 2.5 105 are transferred higher as a result of inversion layer 104 destruction. It is worth mentioning that all the events are due to the frequently shock waves shot.
- FIG. 1 D and E illustrate another exemplary embodiments of the using shock waves for treating the air pollution near a power plant 101.
- the shock wave generator 102 can be placed on the height 108 same as the inversion layer 104, so the shock waves 103 are shot horizontally forward, toward the interface between the inversion layer 104 and PM 2.5 105, and cold air molecules 106 below that. It is worth noted that the mentioned location of the shock wave generator does not limit both other forms of placing the shock wave generator and shooting directions, and they are also within the scope of the present invention.
- shock waves should increase the entropy of the both air molecules and pollutants, causing succeeding collision and destroying the inversion layer.
