Notes:
Wet separation of fine dusts and aerosols. Wet scrubbers are frequently employed in the chemical industry for the separation of fine dusts and aerosols from gas streams. In order to choose the most suitable apparatus for a given purpose from the numerous scrubbers available, 35 wet scrubbers of differing construction were examined on full and pilot-scale regarding separating efficiency and operating behaviour. According to their flow conception, the scrubbers can be divided into five fundamental types, providing an almost automatic classification according to separating efficiency. The experimentally determined degrees of fractionation used as apparatus-specific parameters are discussed and a relation between separation efficiency and specific power consumption is presented. The particular requirements of such apparatus in the chemical industry are outlined with the aid of some operational examples.
