Challenge For the production of coke, volatile constituents of the coal —including water, coal-gas, and coal-tar— are driven off by baking in an airless furnace at temperatures as high as 2.000 °C. The flue gas goes through an ammonia-based scrubbing process. The resulting scrubber water contain small coal-tar and other organic particles (1-250 micron) that cause scaling in ...

Air-scrubbing venturis and towers may be the answer to clean air compliance for small- to medium-sized companies. Forthcoming requirements of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 will inventory many more specific chemicals considered hazardous. From acetaldehyde to xylenes, the list regulated under the air taxies program includes 189 hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). That number may ...

With the passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, many chemical and metal industries and utility producers will now be required to further limit the amount of NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) produced. NOx is a precursor to ozone in the atmosphere, and is believed to be a major contributor to acidic deposition (acid rain). Formation of ozone: NOx is produced in a variety of ...

This two-stage scrubbing system utilizes a jet venturi scrubber in conjunction with a counter current packed tower including entrainment mist eliminator. It was designed to eliminate the HCl (hydrochloric acid) fumes generated when SiC14 (silicon tetrachloride) comes in contact with moisture during processing operations at a zirconium processing tank farm, and also the remaining small amount of ...

Poorly-slaked lime can have a major negative impact on lime consumption and the operating cost at an end-user’s site. The amount of lime used in the process is determined by a combination of slaking parameters. The optimisation of the slaking process will help drive operating costs down and also reduce CO2 emissions.  When the slaking of lime (ie, the conversion to calcium hydroxide ...

A wet dust collector comes in the choice of three variations and these are: gas/liquid contact, gas/liquid separation and gas humidification. The difference between the three is based on how the dust is collected and separated inside the system. A wet dust collector, also known as a wet scrubber, ...

One component, in particular, needs to be carefully selected to ensure safe and efficient sulphur removal. The time is now Shipowners are having to move fast to change fuel type to distillate fuel or LNG, or to install the exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGC systems) known as scrubbers. They’re reacting to new sulphur emission legislation set to come into force in designated ...

Due to the low total concentrations of heavy metals and extractable compounds, it is recommended that the wet scrubber residue be used as a construction agent instead of being disposed of in landfills. According to five–stage sequential extraction, the highest concentrations of most of the heavy metals occurred in the residual fraction (i.e., HF + HNO3 + HCl), which means that ...

Flux force condensation scrubbing technology is used to capture fine (submicron) particulate at extremely high efficiency. It is a preferred method when using wet scrubbing to collect and control dioxins from combustion sources. As an added benefit, through the use of condensation, the water vapor plume commonly associated with a wet scrubbing system can be effectively eliminated. The overall ...

Hydrogen Sulfide is a highly toxic and flammable gas. Being heavier than air, it tends to accumulate at the bottom of poorly ventilated spaces. Although very pungent at first, it quickly deadens the sense of smell, so potential victims may be unaware of its presence until it is too late. The lethal concentration for 50% of humans is 800ppm for 5 minutes of exposure. H2S is a by-product in many ...
