Addressing odor nuisance from industrial activities requires effective gas deodorization. This review outlines emission prevention and removal technologies to help businesses select suitable odor control methods.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Industrial Hygiene
Background:
- Increasing public complaints regarding odor nuisance from industrial and service activities.
- Growing social pressure on businesses to minimize malodorous emissions.
- Need for effective strategies to manage malodorous substances in industrial emissions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present an overview of available gas deodorization technologies.
- To aid potential investors in selecting appropriate odor control methods for specific conditions.
- To categorize deodorization solutions into emission prevention and removal techniques.
Main Methods:
- Review and categorization of existing gas deodorization technologies.
- Analysis of emission prevention technologies.
- Analysis of technologies for removing malodorous substances from emitted gases.
Main Results:
- Gas deodorization technologies are broadly classified into emission prevention and malodorous substance removal.
- Selection of the optimal technology depends on various factors and requires in-depth analysis.
- Available solutions offer diverse approaches to mitigate odor nuisance from industrial activities.
Conclusions:
- A comprehensive understanding of deodorization technologies is crucial for effective odor management.
- Informed selection of gas deodorization methods can significantly reduce environmental impact and public complaints.
- The article serves as a guide for investors to choose tailored solutions for limiting malodorous gas emissions.

Noble Gases
The elements in group 18 are noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon). They earned the name “noble” because they were assumed to be nonreactive since they have filled valence shells. In 1962, Dr. Neil Bartlett at the University of British Columbia proved this assumption to be false.
