Particulate Emission Control

  • Chapter
Airborne Particulate Matter

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC4,volume 4 / 4D))

Summary

In recent times, a strong technology base has developed rapidly for air quality control; particulate emission control dominates a major part of the whole problem. This chapter focuses on particulate emission controls for stationary sources of air contaminants. The main methods and techniques, i.e. mechanical collectors, cyclones, filtration, electrostatic precipitation and scrubbers, are briefly described, examining also their applicability, design, performance and reliability. A comparison/general discussion between these methods/techniques is also given.
