Abstract
Condensable particulate matter (CPM) is one of the major emissions of primary particles in coal combustion. The removal efficiency of CPM using the temperature control device (TCD) based on the concept of a heat exchanger application with lower capital cost was investigated in an industrial heating plant. TCD operates without water and flue gas interactions and ensures efficient control of CPM emissions, and it also minimizes the potential ion accumulation in recycled WESP water, which could otherwise hinder the removal of CPM. The total mass and chemical speciation were determined by EPA method 202. The total mass of CPM was removed by 25.7–60.6% after the TCD. The CPM captured by CPM filters (CPMspa) was down to around 15––21% and the FPM also was reduced by around 11–––26%. The occurrence of vapor gradient forces and thermophoresis forces could enhance the contact between CPM and water film, which was built up on the surface of the cooling tubes during the process of TCD. Then, part of the CPM was removed with a water film. The low capital and operating cost of TCD can be installed in the industrial heating plant or be set up after the WESP in the coal-fired power plant to enhance the CPM removal efficiency.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
