Particulate removal at high temperature and pressure by self-agglomeration in a cyclone. Final technical report, September 1, 1977-December 31, 1979

An analytical and experimental study on a high temperature agglomerating cyclone was carried out to determine the cyclone collection efficiency as a function of dust loading and its operating parameters. Experimental data are presented and indicate that the high temperature cyclone collection efficiency based on the ash mass collected in the hopper varies from 89 to 94%. Microscopic examination of collected particles on the filter paper at cyclone exit shows that the collected particles are mostly of 2m diameter size. Mathematical modeling indicates that the collection efficiencies of submicron particulates are increased from 19.81% to 36.6% and from 75 to 89.2% for 2m and 5m size particles respectively. Experimental data agree qualitatively with the computed value. Agglomeration mechanism modeling indicated that the particle kinetic energy before collision, the thickness of molten surface layer, the viscosity and surface tension of pseudo-molten ash are the principal factors affecting the agglomeration process
