REDUCING OF INDUSTRIAL ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS USING ELECTROCYCLONE

Abstract

The Urals is an industrially developed region of the Russian Federation. More than 1, 500 enterprises representing the mining, metallurgical, energy and other industries are found in the Urals. This neighbourhood cannot but affect the environment [1]. The Urals is one of Russia’s leading regions in terms of environmental pollution (including air emissions) [2]. Electrocyclone is a combined dust collector that combines the centrifugal and electrostatic effects for aerosol cleaning [3]. The diagram of it is shown in Figure 1. An electrocyclone consists of a body 1, snails with an inlet 2, the central tube 3, a corona system 4, an exhaust pipe 5 and a hopper 6.
