Abstract
The fine particle dust produced by coal-fired power plants is one of the important sources of air pollutants. Wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) is one of the effective methods to remove fine particle dust. However, the traditional wet electrostatic precipitator still has low collection efficiency for the superfine particle dust. To improve the collection efficiency and the chemical coagulation method is applied to the wet electrostatic precipitator. Experiments are carried out by varying the chemical coagulation agent type, concentration, surfactant species. The results show that: Adding chemical coagulants can promote the coagulation effect of fine particles, and Xanthan gum (XTG) has the best coagulation effect; the concentration of chemical coagulant also affects the coagulation effect and collection efficiency of dust, the optimal concentration of XTG is 1.0×10−2 g/L; among the surfactants, dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (1227) has the best effect, and the dust removal efficiency can reach 98.80%. Through experimental exploration, the chemical coagulation method has a good application prospect in wet electrostatic precipitators.
