Abstract
ABSTRACT The “nozzle scrubber” is a wet scrubber in which the scrubbing water is dispersed in the dust laden gas stream by means of one or more pneumatic nozzles. This scrubber is distinguished by an excellent collection efficiency for submicron dust at an unusually low energy and water consumption. No well-defined theory exists for this process. The collection efficiency in the “nozzle scrubber” depends primarily on turbulent diffusion respectively on the interaction of particles and droplets induced by turbulence, and not on inertial separation as in the case of the venturi scrubber. A light scattering device was used to measure the particle distributions. The experimental set-up was built up in a technical scale. The influence of operation parameters, especially water consumption, residence time, and pressurized air, on the grade efficiency has been demonstrated by their systematic variation. The contribution of turbulent diffusion to the collection efficiency has been confirmed.
