Present study was designed to evaluate the practical application of triethyl amine(TEA) injection for improving the collection efficiency of electrostatic precipitator(ESP) connected to a real operating plant. The major fuels used at the domestic power stations were bituminous coals imported from Australia, China, South Africa, and USA. Although the values of the electric resistance would be more or less different according to the type of the coals used, the unique electric resistance values of fly ash from the coals were mostly higher than $1{\times}10^{12}\;{\Omega}-cm$ and therefore, back corona problems were always expected to occur in the electrostatic precipitator. The particulates concentrations, smoke concentrations and their electric resistivity measured at the outlet of ESP, and the inspection of collection indicated that the injection of TEA improved the collection efficiency of particulate at collection plates of ESP. The electric resistance for, fly ash with the injection concentration of TEA 15 ppm(Purity 99.7%) was lowered to $2.1{\times}10^{11}\;{\Omega}-cm$ after injection from $1.9{\times}10^{12}\;{\Omega}-cm$ before injection. Under this condition, the dust emission content at the stack was reduced to approximately 80%, lowering the average outlet concentrations of particulates from $70\;mg/Sm^3$ to $14\;mg/Sm^3$.

Demand for improving dust removal efficiency in coal power plants and the dust removal requirement to the level of capturing fine particulate matter and ultrafine particles have been increasing. While bag filter and electrostatic precipitator (ESP) are typically used for dust removal in the processes operating at atmospheric pressure, metal filters or ceramic filters are employed for dust which is produced at high temperature/pressure system as in coal gasification. For dust removal at the high temperature/pressure conditions, two metal filters of five compressed/sintered layers were manufactured and applied to analyze the dust removal characteristics. Manufactured metal filters exhibited more than 99% dust removal efficiency on coal gasification fine particulates in mass basis. To evaluate the fine particulate removal efficiency of less than $2.5{\mu}m$, JIS standard fine sample was used and confirmed the removal efficiencies of 97% and 70~82% on the fine particulates of $1{\sim}2.5{\mu}m$ size range. For the size range of less than $1{\mu}m$, dust removal efficiency of manufactured metal filters significantly degraded with smaller particle size. Improving methods are proposed to overcome the limitations in applying to fine dust of less than $1{\mu}m$.

여과집진기(fabric filter)는 높은 집진 효율로 인해 대형소각로를 포함한 환경시설의 집진 설비로 많이 적용되고 있으며, 그 중에서 pulse-jet형 여과집진기가 가장 많이 사용되는 추세이다 한편, 여과포 표면에 형성되는 dust cake의 퇴적성상(deposition morphology)은 여과집진기의 압력손실에 매우 큰 영향을 미치는데, 일정 여과속도에서 dust cake의 압력손실이 상대적으로 큰 경우에는 탈진주기가 필연적으로 짧아지는 결과를 초래한다. (중략)

The transport of charged particles in electrostatic precipitator is investigated by Eulerian numerical analysis. Collection efficiencies are calculated using various combinations of the assumptions about flow field, turbulent diffusivity and boundary condition at collecting electrode. The characteristics of calculated collection efficiencies are compared with the trends of published experimental results. It is found that the collection efficiency for the case using nonuniform turbulent flow field, nonuniform turbulent diffusivity and zero concentration boundary condition at collecting electrode is the most suitable for the prediction of collection efficiency of electrostatic precipitator.

This study investigates particle collection characteristics of a cylindrical electrostatic precipitator. Experimental work has been made for the submicron particles. The effects of polarity of discharge electrode wire, particle diameter, gas velocity, gas temperature, and specific corona power on the particle collection efficiency are investigated. The efficiency of negative corona is higher than that of positive corona. as the particle diameter increases, the efficiency is decreased when the diameter is in the range of 0.02-0.6 micron, but is increased for the nanometer particles with diameter smaller than 0.02 micron. The efficiency is increased with increase of specific corona power. As the gas temperature increases, overall collection efficiency is increased for a negative corona, but is deceased for a positive corona.

The purpose of this study is to numerically evaluate the collection performance of an ultra-small Lapple cyclone separator for 1~10 ㎛ particles introduced at flow rate of 10 L/min. The numerical evaluation reveals that a static pressure drop occurs more dominantly inside of the cyclone separator than at the inlet and the vortex finder. Also a fluid flow in the cyclone separator is confirmed to have a helical structure heading upward in the center of cyclone separator and downward in the vicinity of wall. The investigation on dust collection efficiency of the Lapple cyclone separator shows that particles of 4~8 ㎛ diameters are collected at very lower efficiency than other sizes. Then, the cut-point diameter of the cyclone separator is 1.48 ㎛.

The effect on collection efficiency with 2-stage vortex finder diameter and back mixing of solid flow due to swirling intensity, turbulence eddies, wall bouncing using the residence time distribution of particle flow in a common and modified cyclone. Higher collection efficiencies of fly ash in a modified cyclone(S = 13, 15cm) are showed than common cyclone. Collection efficiency in modified cyclone was highest at 2-stage vortex finder diameter, S = 13 cm. Variances of residence time distribution and average residence times of glass bead were increased with a diameter(S) of 2-stage vortex finder due to swirling intensity and turbulence eddies. Back mixing of solid flow in a modified cyclone were increased with a gas inlet velocity and showed higher than a common cyclone.

The development of technology to prevent environmental pollutants and reduce energy consumption has already become a very significant issue not only for the foundry industry but also for society as a whole. In this paper, we introduce a new dust collector developed for low energy consumption and high performance compared to a roof top dust collector. The roof top dust collector which is using widely in the domestic foundry plant has a low performance about the dust suction ability in spite of high energy consumption because it is installed in a high place to collect the whole dust from all processes in foundry. A dust collector away from dust sources inevitably has low energy efficiency. The development of an efficient collector for foundry is very difficult because the position of the dust source continues to change from the melting process to the pouring process. New dust collector is installed on the ladle transfer equipment such as cranes, hoists, and monorails to effectively respond to moving dust sources. The movable device, attached close to the source of dust, provides high performance even with low energy consumption. The new dust collector is expected to be an environment-friendly device that can be applied to the foundry.

필터 집진기는 집진효율, 내열, 그리고 내화학성이 우수하기 때문에 고온 정밀집진 또는 부식성 가스의 집진을 위하여 매우 유용한 장치이다. 그러나 세라믹이나 금속 필터를 사용하는 필터 집진기는 운전 시에 필터의 파손에 대한 잠정적인 우려가 있기 때문에 이를 극복하고 시스템의 신빙성을 100% 확보하는 것이 궁극적인 과제로 인식되고 있다. 고온 세라믹 필터의 활용이 가장주목시 되고있는 IGCC 집진의 경우 석탄가스화 및 탈황 과정에서 발생되는 분진을 고온고압에서 제거하여 가스터빈을 보호하는 공정으로써 운전중에 필터가 파손되면 그 부분으로 분진가스가 급격히 빠져나가 큰 분진 입자가 가스터빈으로 유입되고 심한 경우에는 파손된 필터의 파편이 여기에 동반될 수 있다.(중략)
