This document discusses various particulate control devices: 1) Settling chambers use gravity to remove larger particles from gas streams. 2) Cyclones use centrifugal force to spin particles out of gas streams. 3) Electrostatic precipitators use charged electrodes to capture charged particles from gas streams. 4) Fabric filters use porous fabric to filter out fine particles from gas streams.

PROCESS CYCLONE SCHEMATIC...---1
This process is achieved by a sudden
change in the direction of gas flow.
The dust particle is spinning in a
circular path, it is subjected to an
outward force. As a result the
particles collect on the wall and fall
to the bottom of the vessel.

This method is most often used type of
device, which is required to meet
any future standards limiting the
emission of respirable particles.
The collection efficiency is very high
and even for particle of o.01µm
diameter.
The Fabric filters, or bag houses ,
remove dust from a gas stream by
passing the stream through a porous
fabric.
The fabric filter is efficient at removing

most
fine particles and can
efficiencies of 99% in
applications.

23. fOsorption is a process where gases,
vapours or liquids are concentrated
on a solid surface as a result of
surface or chemical force (physical
adsorption
respectively).
and chemisorptions
The amount of
adsorbed substances depends
directly on the internal surface area
of solid and the l<inetics of the
process.
The most important adsorbents in
industrial use to-days are Bauxite,
activated carbon, activated alumina,
silica gel and molecular sieves.
