A numerical simulation for particle collection efficiency in a wire-plate electrostatic precipitator (ESP) has been performed. Method of characteristics and finite differencing method (MOC-FDM) were employed to obtain electric field and space charge density, and lattice boltzmann method (LBM) was used to predict the Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow according to the ion convection. Large eddy simulation (LES) was considered for turbulent flow and particle simulation was performed by discrete element method (DEM) which considered field charging, electric force, drag force and wall-collision. One way coupling from FDM to LBM was used with small and low density particle assumption. When the charged particle collided with the collecting plate, particle-wall collision was calculated for re-entertainment effect and the effect of gravity force was considered.

We investigate the triboelectrostatic separation of polyvinylchloride (PVC) from mixed plastics in the laboratory scale triboelectrostatic separation system. The flow and electric fields in the precipitator are obtained from the numerical solution of finite volume method. Using these flow and electric fields, we solved the particle motion equation considering the inertia, drag, gravity and electrostatic forces acted on the particles. The particle trajectories are obtained using a Lagrangian method as a function of different important variables such as Reynolds number, Stokes number, electrostatic force, electric charge and electric field distribution, inclined angle of plane electrodes, particle rebounding, particle charge decay rate after impact on the electrode surface, etc., in order to determine the optimal design conditions. The present predicted results for the cumulative yield represent well the experimental ones.

$SnCl_4$와 침전제로 ammonium nitrate ($NH_4NO_3$)의 수용액들을 사용하여 $90^{\circ}C$에서 침전반응으로 얻은 주석산(stannic acid)을 열처리하여 $SnO_2$ 분말을 제조하였으며, 요소($(NH_2)_2CO$)를 침전제로 사용한 균일침전법으로 주석산을 제조하여 열처리 전후로 재료의 특성을 상호 비교하였다. Ammonium nitrate의 침전법에 의한 주석산은 열처리에 따른 중량감소가 $700^{\circ}C$까지 이루어졌으며, 전체 중량감소는 16.5%였다. 또한 $600^{\circ}C$의 열처리로 비정질 주석산이 완전한 결정질의 $SnO_2$로 상변화가 이루어졌다. 주석산 제조 과정에서 $SnCl_4$ 수용액의 농도 증가 및 열처리 온도 증가에 따라 $SnO_2$의 결정입계가 증가하였다. 요소를 침전제로 사용한 균일침전법은 ammonium nitrate를 침전제로 하는 균일법보다 같은 조건의 열처리 공정 후에 상대적으로 미세한 결정입계의 $SnO_2$를 얻을 수 있었다.

This study aimed to develop a new dust collecting system equipped with an activated carbon (A.C.) coated electrode. Before fabrication, pre-treatment of A.C. was performed to remove metal ions within the A.C. to enlarge its specific surface area. Then, pre-treated A.C., black carbon, polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), and methanol were mixed to make a gel compound, which was coated onto aluminum plates to fabricate electrodes. The optimal mixing ratio of A.C., black carbon, PVAc, and methanol was found to be 10 g: 2 g: 3 g: 20 mL. After fabrication, the electrodes were used in the batch-type experiment for $NH_3$ and $H_2S$ removal. The reduction rates of the gases were high at the beginning and slowly reduced with time. Dust collection experiments were conducted in continuous flow, with various voltages applied. Compared to 5 kV, dust removal efficiency was 1.5 times higher when 10 kV was applied. Increasing the number of electrodes applied also increased the collecting efficiency. The correlation coefficient between actual collecting efficiency and trend line was higher than 99%. Consequently, the novel dust collection system equipped with A.C. coated electrode appears to be a promising substitute for existing dust-control devices.
