With the combustion of solid fuels, emissions such as particulate matter are also formed, which have a negative impact on human health. Reducing their amount in air can be achieved by optimizing process well flue gas flow. This article aims to optimize tract using separation baffles. design make it possible capture three baffles and prevent from escaping into gas. The geometric parameters first...

-The floating gas-solid fluidized bed (FGSFB) is a new type of gas-solid contacting device described earlier by Kwant et al. (Fluidization VII, Proc. 7th En#ng Found. Conf. on Fluidization, Brisbane, May, 1992). It is a tapered column provided with several coarse grids, in which catalyst particles are fluidized by a gas at a velocity decreasing with height from a value larger than the single pa...

S. Gil, J. Góral, J. Ochman, M. Saternus, W. Bialik, Department of Metallurgy, Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland In the paper, results of a model study on the effects of the air delivery and flue gas removal method on the intensity of gas blending in the hood space are presented. Two design solutions were compared: with one or two outlet channels for the hood gases. Moreover, ...

This work explores surface changes and the Hg capture performance of brominated activated carbon (AC) pellets, sulfur-treated AC pellets, and sulfur-treated AC fibers upon exposure to simulated Powder River Basin-fired flue gas. Hg breakthrough curves yielded specific Hg capture amounts by means of the breakthrough shapes and times for the three samples. The brominated AC pellets showed a sharp...

Prediction of carbon content in fly ash is a valuable index in both designing and optimizing coal-fired boilers. In this study, methods of multiple regression (MR), decision trees (DT), and support vector regression (SVR) were used for prediction of unburned carbon content of fly ash in a 300-MW power plant with a tangentially fired furnace using a low-NOx concentric firing system. Twenty-one b...

The uptake of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas by zeolite NaKA was studied. A very high ideal CO(2)-over-N(2) selectivity and a high CO(2) capacity were observed at an optimal K(+) content of 17 at.%. NaKA is a very promising adsorbent for CO(2) separation from water-free flue gases.

the removal of fine particles less than 2.5 μm in diameter generated from industrial plantsrepresents a serious challenge in air pollution abatement. these particles can penetrate deeply into the lungs and are difficult to remove by cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, and other conventional separation devices. in this paper, the influence of acoustic waves on removing aerosol particles from ...
