Flyash particle size

The bed material normally consists initially of an inert material, such as sand or ash, of particle size between 500 and 1500 xm. This gradually becomes replaced by ash from the coal and additives used for sulphur removal. Ash is continuously removed from the bottom of the bed and, in addition, there is a considerable carry-over by elutriation and this flyash must be collected in cyclone separators. Bed depths are usually kept below about 0.6 m in order to limit power requirements.

An arguably more relevant approach to the assessment of the filtration efficiency is proposed by Barlow,in which a dilute suspension of flyash in glycerol is pumped through the fabric. By measuring the particle size distribution with the aid of a Coulter counter before and after the passage through the fabric - and before the formation of a filter cake - a measure of its filtration efficiency can be obtained. 

Flyash - Flyashes are finely divided matter generally entrained in flue gases that arise from combustion. Particles range from 1 /im in size on down. This is not within the operational range of gravity settling chambers. Wet... 

Erosion of convective pass tubes, while not a function of deposits, is caused by the abrasive components in flyash, Flyash size and shape, ash particle composition and concentration, and local gas velocities play important roles concerning erosion phenomenon.
