18.10 A copper smelter processes 1000 metric tons of ore per day, principally
CuFeS2, producing SO2 as a pollutant. The stack is 80 m tall and 2 m in exit diameter,
and heat loss through the stack is 3000kJs. For an overcast night with a wind speed
(measured at 5 m ) of 4ms :
a. Calculate the effective stack height.
b. Calculate the maximum ground level concentration of SO2.
c. Estimate the percent SO2 control needed to meet the EPA 24-h secondary
ambient air quality standard (see Chap. 20).
