Wet air scrubbing is often overlooked as a method of air pollution control. The wet air scrubbing technology is not at the forefront of the engineers’ list of equipment for emission control due to the reluctance to change from the well known dry dust collectors. Despite the hesitance, wet air scrubbers are successfully installed downstream...

Wet air scrubber treatment quality
Treatment quality of an air scrubber refers to the general percentage of a pollutant that the scrubber is able to remove. In other words, this measure shows how effective the scrubber performs. The treatment quality of a scrubber is often measured interference to particle and gas pollutants, as some air scrubbers may be far less...

Wet air scrubber for sulfuric acid vapours absorption
Sulfuric acid vapour is one of the main pollutants that occur during zinc production. Sulfuric acid vapours are, in fact, not vapours, but a fine mist or aerosol in a working atmosphere; that can be explained by its low vapour pressure and hygroscopic properties. The mist mainly originates from the electrolyte that consists of a...

Wet air scrubber iron ore dust control
Heavy iron ore dust is a result of iron ore mining. The 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...
