Abstract

The electrostatic precipitator(ESP) has low efficiency in removing sub-micron particles. Coagulation technology, as a fine particle pretreatment technology, uses an external effect to agglomerate and grow fine particles, increase the average particle size, and make it easier to remove by subsequent dust removal equipment. However, the coagulation efficiency of a single coagulation technology is limited. Aiming at the particle charging mechanism and coagulation mechanism in the electric/turbulent composite coagulation process of fine particles, this paper uses a combination of numerical simulation and experiment to study the effects of different structural parameters, discharge parameters and flue gas parameters on corona discharge and particle charge. On this basis, the coagulation characteristics of charged particles in the turbulent flow field are studied. The results show that, when the Angle between the tip of the arista electrode is 90°, the corona discharge effect is the best. With the increase of supply voltage and temperature, the charge of particles increases. When the applied positive voltage is 29 kV and negative voltage is −35 kV, the total coagulation coalescence efficiency of fine particles reaches the maximum. The coagulation efficiency increases with the increase of temperature, but decreases with the increase of inlet flow rate.
