Abstract |
Proceedings of the symposium contain papers from US and USSR on the application of conventional technologies for control of fine particles (3 microns and less), new concepts for fine particulate control, advances in measurement techniques, and chemical composition of fine particulates. The theory behind and the application of electrostatic precipitators, wet scrubbers, and fabric filters for removal of fine particulates from stationary sources are covered. New concepts covered include sonic agglomeration, electrically induced agglomeration, coagulation and condensation with utilization of electrophoresis, thermophoresis, and diffissiophoresis. The presently applied particulate mass measurement methods, plume opacity measurement, instruments measuring efficiency of particulate control equipment, sampling from high-temperature, reactive, and corrosive gases, measurement of particle size distribution at emission sources are covered in papers on measurement techniques. |
