Abstract
Particulate matter is a primary pollutant generated by waste incineration. This study developed a novel particulate matter concentration detection system based on charge induction principle and investigated the influence of wind speed, temperature, humidity and particle size on measurement accuracy. The detection error decreased with increasing wind speed, temperature, humidity, as well as decreasing particle size. The degree of factors influencing detection accuracy ranked as follows: wind speed > humidity > temperature ≈ particle size. Wind speed primarily affected collision and friction effects and the number of particulate matters passing through the electrode. Temperature and humidity influenced the specific resistance and conductivity of particles, while particle size affected the nucleus-mass ratio and the spatial distribution uniformity at a given mass concentration. This study validates the feasibility of the charge method for particulate matter detection and provides valuable data for the exploration of influencing factors.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
