Dry purification of incenerator off-gases

Abstract

During operation of an incinerator for radioactive wastes, black smoke is formed, primarily while burning plastics or rubber. The black smoke, which is not cleared in a cyclone, coagulates on the pre-filters and causes there an almost instanteous plugging. In order to solve this problem it was tried to pre-clean the gasses by filtration through different types of tissue or by electrofiltration. For gasses, containing 5 g of humidity per m3, one succeeded in retaining 93% of the carbon black in a double stage electrofilter. The life time of the tissue-filters was thus prolonged by a factor of approximately 10. The flow-rate through the electrofilter was between 0.4 and 1.0 m/sec.
