Effects of cyclone and freeboard geometry on solid entrainment loss were investigated with two different types of cyclones and bubbling beds in a gas-solid fluidized bed system. The solid entrainment loss was measured by collected fines during continuous solid circulation condition. Bubbling bed which has an expanded freeboard showed less solid entrainment than the bubbling bed which has a straight freeboard. The cyclone which has a wide gas-solid mixture inlet showed less solid entrainment loss than the cyclone which has a narrow gas-solid mixture inlet. Moreover, the cyclone has a wide gas-solid mixture inlet can capture smaller particles.

An auxiliary device, called Post Cyclone (PoC). had been introduced and primarily examined in earlier works which proved the reduction of the emission of fine dust from the gas-solid cyclones without incurring significant increase of cost and pressure drop. It has been known that the PoC has some advantages over other secondary dust treatment devices such as (a) simple design, (b) low cost of manufacture, (c) minimum additional pressure drop, (d) high recoverbility of the product dust, and (e) simplicity of operation. Despite the potential advantage, however, lack of practical data confined its plausible application in wide areas. Thus, in this work, a few serial experiments were conducted in terms of a few operation conditions, and the particle trajectories throughout the cyclone set-up were visually analyzed by using a commercial computer simulation program (FLUENT).

Cyclones have been extensively used in the industry for removing fine particles from the gaseous streams, based on simplicity in design and construction in association with low cost and flexibility to operate in extreme and harsh environments. However, industrial cyclones are typically not very efficient for particles smaller than 10μm. In this work, in order to improve the separation efficiency of reverse flow cyclones, a simple device named Post Cyclone(Poc) in installed on the top of an existing cyclone. Thereby the residual swirl present at the outlet (vortex finder) of a conventional cyclone has been used to capture the escaped dust from the cyclone in the PoC. The performance of PoC was closely evaluated by changing configuration of the PoC and operation condition. In addition, the dust behaviour in th PoC was investigated based on the hypothesis of residual vortex.

In the present study, one of the widely applied equations for gas-solid cyclones, Leith and Licht model, was evaluated based on the 3-D CFD technique. The initial and boundary values of radial position and tangential velocity obtain-ed from the CFD simulation enabled complete calculation of the nonlinear second differential equation. This approach showed about 30% errors between calculations with and without the second order differential term. The calculation by using the simple first order equation presented shorter times to migrate up to the inner wall of the cyclone than by the second order, which theoretically implies higher separation efficiency. Further comparison is now under evaluation in terms of the detailed grade efficiency.

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.

Numerical simulation was performed for the 3-dimensional flow filed of gas and particle phase for cyclone dust collector. FVM(Finite Volume Method) was employed for gas phase. The flow was solved suing the k-.varepsilon. epsilon turbulence model. The particle exit at the bottom of the cone was treated as a solid wall in this model because the gas flow through the effective dust exit is usually insignificant. The major parameters considered in this study was vortex finder diameter, effective dust exit diameterm vortex finder length, inlet type for dimension performance. Particle trajectory calculations were made for three different, particle sizes of 1, 25 and 50 .mu.m. The results obtained from this study give some physical insight of dust particle collection mechanism together with the indication of the collection efficiency. The simulation results were in generally good agreement with empirical knowledge. The application of this kind of computer program looks promising as a potential tool for the design of cyclone and determination of optimum operating condition.

Cyclone is one of the most widely used gas - solid separation devices in industries. In spite of its many advantages, lower separation efficiency and flat separation curve are usually associated with cyclones. Therefore, the primary goal of cyclone research is to improve its separation capability while retaining its basic features. In this study, granules were filled in the cone of a cyclone in an attempt to increase the cyclone separation efficiency through the combination of granular filtration and centrifugal separation.

상대적으로 낮은 미세입자(주로 10$\mu$m이하) 제어효율은 기-고 싸이클론의 최대 약점으로 논의되어 왔다. 이전 연구에서 싸이클론의 유출가스에 포함되어 있는 미세분진 입자들을 2차적으로 분리하고 제거할 수 있는 Post Cyclone(PoC)이라는 장치를 개발하여 그 효용성을 입증하였고(Hoffmann,1996), Mita 등(Mita el. al., 1997)이 이론적 뒷받침을 위한 연구를 진행하여 이론적 모델을 제시하였다. 즉, PoC의 효율은 Reynolds 수와 Stokes 수의 함수로 표시될 수 있을 것으로 추정하였다.

This study was carried to investigate the emission characteristics of mercury from domestic and industrial MSW (municipal solid waste) incinerator stacks. The mercury concentration levels of flue gas from 32 MSW incinerators stacks selected were above the criteria level ($5{\mu}g/S\;m^3$). MSWI facilities exceeding the criteria levels in Korea are due to the poor units comparison of combustion chamber(CC)-cyclone(CY)-stack. So, the mercury from MSW incinerators stack were suspected to contaminate the natural system unless the MSW incinerators were properly controlled. Mean-while, the relationship between mercury concentration and temperature of flue gas in MSW incinerator stacks were examined at two temperature ranges (Group A : $29.85{\sim}327.63^{\circ}C$, Group B : $446.9{\sim}848.15^{\circ}C$). The mercury concentration in flue gas with high temperature range was higher than that of flue gas with low temperature rage. This mean that the temperature of flue gas plays an important role in mercury control in MSW incinerator. The emission characteristics oi mercury was also evaluated by using the correlation matrix between the mercury and NOx, $PM_{10}$, moisture (MO.) at both low temperature and high temperature flue gas ranges. The mercury concentration was mainly affected by NOx, $PM_{10}$. moisture (MO.) at low temperature range, while the mercury concentration at high temperature flue gas was mainly affected by NOx, moisture (MO.). From these results, it was suggested that the temperature of cooling system and the air pollution control device should be properly regulated in order to control mercury of flue gas in MSWI incinerator.
