Wet air scrubbing is often overlooked as a method of air pollution control. The wet air scrubbing technology is not prioritized by engineers for emission control equipment because of their hesitance to switch from the familiar dry dust collectors. However, wet air scrubbers are successfully installed downstream of furnaces, dryers, mixers, bucket elevators, and other...

The Efficiency and Reliability of Wet Air Scrubber Treatment
The treatment quality of an air scrubber refers to the general percentage of a pollutant that the scrubber can remove. In simpler terms, this metric indicates the efficiency of the scrubber operation. The treatment quality of a scrubber is often measured by interference with particle and gas pollutants, as some air scrubbers may be far...

Efficient Sulfuric Acid Vapor Absorption with Wet Air Scrubbers
Sulfuric acid vapor is one of the main pollutants that occur during zinc production. Sulfuric acid vapors do not exist as vapors; instead, they manifest as a fine mist or aerosol in the workplace atmosphere due to their low vapor pressure and hygroscopic characteristics. The mist mainly originates from the electrolyte that consists of a...

Effective Iron Ore Dust Control with Wet Air Scrubbers
Heavy iron ore dust is a result of iron ore mining. Iron ore contains high quantities of hematite or magnetite, but also other elements that are often present in trace amounts. Such elements include silicon, phosphorus, aluminum, and sulfur. The iron ore itself is not harmful, however, the dust that is produced during transportation of...
