Particulate Scrubbing in High-Velocity Water Sprays

Abstract

Experimental investigations on the scrubbing of particulates (fly ash) in high-velocity water sprays are reported. Performance characteristics of an atmospheric spray scrubber incorporating high-velocity water sprays using a two-phase atomiser are analysed in terms of various physical and flow parameters of the system, and a simplified correlation has been developed. The efficiency of particulate collection in the scrubber can be well predicted using this correlation.
