【 摘 要 】

Pollutants control techniques in thermal power plant is a key factor to consider when analyzing environmental deterioration. This environment deterioration affects man and environ, and is usually associated with pollutants arising from the operation of thermal power plant such as noise and vibration, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, thermal radiation, particulate matters and some micropollutants such as Cl2, Cu, Cr, Pb, and F which pose a serious threat to the environment. These pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere, settles and discharge negative impact on the environment. These pollutants, if not checked and controlled, alter the photosynthesis process of plants which reduce the major nutrient in plant, reduce soil fertility, dis-structure the soil strata, facilitates facilities corrosion and attack man and animal directly. Some control techniques as seen were put in place to curtail these pollutants.
