The interest of studies on the development of techniques for removal of particles in the nanosized scale was promoted by concern about air quality and human health, in addition to restrictions on the control of ultrafine ...

Previous works have shown that the presence of electrostatic forces in particles significantly affect the performance of a filter, both increasing collection efficiency and reducing pressure drop. Recently, in the Environmental ...

In the industrial sector, includes the burning of waste as wooden chip, sawdust and bark for generation of energy, heating and production. The burning of biomass is a primary source for generating fine particles, which ...

The study of the liquid film in the walls of a Venturi scrubber was chosen as the target of this work for representing one of the important phenomena that influence the collection efficiency of the equipment. Such efficiency ...

This work had for objective to study the influence of the variables liquid flow, throat length, number of orifices and gas velocity in the throat in the collection efficiency of a Venturi scrubber. As particulate matter ...

The increase in the air pollution in the last decades is causing a strong increase in the monitoring and control of emissions of particulate matter in the atmosphere, in order to minimize the problems caused to the ...
