An efficient venturi scrubber system to remove submicron particles in exhaust gas

An efficient venturi scrubber system making use of heterogeneous nucleation and condensational growth of particles was designed and tested to remove fine particles from the exhaust of a local scrubber where residual SiH4 gas was abated and lots of fine SiO2 particles were generated. In front of the venturi scrubber, normal-temperature fine-water mist mixes with high-temperature exhaust gas to cool it to the saturation temperature, allowing submicron particles to grow into micron sizes. The grown particles are then scrubbed efficiently in the venturi scrubber. Test results show that the present venturi scrubber system is effective for removing submicron particles. For SiO2 particles greater than 0.1microm, the removal efficiency is greater than 80-90%, depending on particle concentration. The corresponding pressure drop is relatively low. For example, the pressure drop of the venturi scrubber is approximately 15.4 +/- 2.4 cm H2O when the liquid-to-gas ratio is 1.50 L/m3. A theoretical calculation has been conducted to simulate particle growth process and the removal efficiency of the venturi scrubber. The theoretical results agree with the experimental data reasonably well when SiO2 particle diameter is greater than 0.1 microm.

Performance of Gas-Atomized Spray Scrubbers at High Pressure

A large number of pressurized coal gasification processes being developed propose to use venturi scrubbers for particulate removal at high pressures. Theoretical predictions based on venturi scrubber performance models indicate that particle collection efficiency will decrease severely in these high gas pressure applications.

An exploratory theoretical and experimental program was performed to study the effect of gas pressure on venturi scrubber performance. Experiments were done on a 0.47 m³/s (1000 acfm) pilot scale venturi scrubber. Particle collection performance was determined as a function of scrubber pressure drop for venturi scrubbers operating In the range of 1-10 atm total pressure. Experimental results confirmed that the particle collection efficiency of venturi scrubbers decreases for a given scrubber pressure drop as total gas pressure Is increased. To achieve the same particle collection efficiency, the pressure drop across a venturi scrubber operated at 10 atm Is about 10 times that of the same scrubber operated at 1 atm pressure.

Abstract

An efficient venturi scrubber system making use of heterogeneous nucleation and condensational growth of particles was designed and tested to remove fine particles from the exhaust of a local scrubber where residual SiH₄ gas was abated and lots of fine SiO₂ particles were generated. In front of the venturi scrubber, normal-temperature fine-water mist mixes with high-temperature exhaust gas to cool it to the saturation temperature, allowing submicron particles to grow into micron sizes. The grown particles are then scrubbed efficiently in the venturi scrubber. Test results show that the present venturi scrubber system is effective for removing submicron particles. For SiO₂ particles greater than 0.1 μm, the removal efficiency is greater than 80–90%, depending on particle concentration. The corresponding pressure drop is relatively low. For example, the pressure drop of the venturi scrubber is ～15.4 ± 2.4 cm H₂O when the liquid-to-gas ratio is 1.50 L/m³. A theoretical calculation has been conducted to simulate particle growth process and the removal efficiency of the venturi scrubber. The theoretical results agree with the experimental data reasonably well when SiO₂ particle diameter is greater than 0.1 μm.     

Theoretical study of liquid droplet dispersion in a venturi scrubber

The droplet concentration distribution in an atomizing scrubber was calculated based on droplet eddy diffusion by a three-dimensional dispersion model. This model is also capable of predicting the liquid flowing on the wall. The theoretical distribution of droplet concentration agrees well with experimental data given by Viswanathan et al. for droplet concentration distribution in a venturi-type scrubber. The results obtained by the model show a non-uniform distribution of drops over the cross section of the scrubber, as noted by the experimental data. While the maximum of droplet concentration distribution may depend on many operating parameters of the scrubber, the results of this study show that the highest uniformity of drop distribution will be reached when penetration length is approximately equal to one-fourth of the depth of the scrubber. The results of this study can be applied to evaluate the removal efficiency of a venturi scrubber.

New High-Efficiency Mist Collector

The recently developed York Type P acid mist scrubber collects phosphoric acid mists and other very fine liquid particulates with very high efficiency with moderate pressure drop and high throughput. The collector consists of a single vessel containing two stainless steel wire mesh contactors. The collector converts submicron size acid mist into larger liquid particles which are collected and separated from the gas stream before being discharged from the collector. The first commercial unit started operation in July 1964, and four additional units have since been installed. Collection efficiency is 99.9+% at a pressure drop of 35-40 in W.G. The scrubber is compact and has no moving parts. Collected acid drains by gravity to a receiving tank. Experimental development work is described and design parameters such as efficiency, gas velocity, and pressure drop are discussed.     

Direct field observation of the relative humidity effect on the beta-gauge readings

The effect of ambient relative humidity (RH) on hourly particulate matter (PM10) readings of beta-gauge monitors has been studied using two collocated monitors in the field. The inlet air of monitor 1 was conditioned with water vapor to increase its RH, whereas monitor 2 operated normally in ambient conditions. Experimental data showed that PM10 readings of monitor 1 were nearly the same as monitor 2, as long as the RH of its conditioned incoming air did not exceed approximately 80-85%. However, when the RH exceeded approximately 80-85%, PM10 readings of monitor 1 became higher than monitor 2, and the difference increased with increasing RH. The measurement of pressure drop across the filter was also conducted, and the data revealed that the increase of pressure drop per unit of PM10 concentration decreased when RH was higher than approximately 80-85%, as compared with the case when RH was lower than 80-85%. This is perhaps because of more porous structure of deposited particles in the beta-gauge monitor when RH is greater than approximately 80-85%. The theoretical calculation using an evaporation model and a thermodynamic model has been conducted to simulate the beta-gauge readings. The results show that the theoretical PM10 concentrations using the evaporation model are in better agreement with the actual beta-gauge readings than those using the thermodynamic equilibrium model.

对于厌氧消化过程的酸化阶段，反应器内温度的快速下降将对碳水化合物的分解和产酸活动产生明显抑制。当温度依次从30℃下降到25、20和15℃时，反应器内厌氧微生物数量呈缓慢减少趋势，受温度影响不大；但是，厌氧酸化过程却明显表现出受到每一次骤然降温的影响，其碳水化合物的平均去除率随温度骤降从92％依次降低为84％、72％和25％，且最低分别达到78％、52％和10％。研究还表明，随着温度的骤降，厌氧酸化活动将立即受到强烈抑制，并需要一定的时间来恢复以适应发酵温度的改变。

Influence of pleat geometry on filter cleaning in PTFE/glass composite filter

A pleated filter bag is often used to treat exhaust gas in many industrial applications, due to its fairly high dust collection efficiency and relatively low pressure drop. This work deals with the optimum pleating geometries of a pleated filter made with a newly developed PTFE/glass composite filter. It was found that pleating geometries, including pleat height and pleat pitch, directly affect the cleaning efficiency. The design index, α, which stands for the ratio of pleat height to pleat pitch, is 1.48 for optimum operation. When the α value was higher than 1.48, the pressure drop across the pleated filter medium increased, resulting in a decreased cleaning interval due to the difficulty of filter cleaning. Therefore, it is necessary that the optimum pleating geometry should be determined by employing the dimensionless parameter, α, in the design of cartridge filters.

Implications: A pleated filter bag is often used to treat exhaust gas in many industrial applications due to its fairly high dust collection efficiency and relatively low pressure drop. The present paper introduces an optimum design configuration to make a pleated filter with newly developed PTFE/glass composite filter media. A dimensionless parameter that is the ratio of pleat height to pleat pitch should be considered to make the best quality pleated filter.     

散堆填料对海水脱硫吸收系统性能影响的实验研究
