Impinging precipitation

In general, plants using SO2 gas derived from metallic sulfides, spent acids, or gypsum anhydrite purify the gas stream before drying it by cold, ie, wet, gas purification. Various equipment combinations including humidification towers, reverse jet scmbbers, packed gas cooling towers, impingement tray columns and electrostatic precipitators are used to clean the gas. 

Care should be exercised when sampling for aerosols that are condensable. Some separating systems, such as wet impingers, may remove the condensables from the gas stream, whereas others, such as electrostatic precipitators, will not. Of equal concern should be possible reactions in the sampling system to form precipitates or aerosols which are not normally found when the stack gases are exhausted directly to the atmosphere.

Collection of particles is based on filtration, gravitational and centrifugal sedimentation, inertial impaction and impingement, diffusion, interception, or electrostatic or thermal precipitation (e.g., see Spurny, 1986, Chapter 3). The choice of method depends on a number of parameters such as the composition and size of the particles, the purpose of the sample, and acceptable sampling rates. Table 11.10 summarizes some of the commonly used methods and the size ranges over which they are effective. 

The phase-field simulations reproduce a wide range of microstructural phenomena such as dendrite formation in supercooled fixed-stoichiometry systems [10], dendrite formation and segregation patterns in constitutionally supercooled alloy systems [11], elastic interactions between precipitates [12], and polycrystalline solidification, impingement, and grain growth [6]. 

PREPARATION OF ULTRAFINE POWDERS BY REACTION-PRECIPITATION IN IMPINGING STREAMS I ULTRAFINE WHITE CARBON BLACK... 

Scientifically, the term ultrafine powder or ultrafine particles is used to describe solid products in which the particle sizes are no greater than 100 nm. The ultrafine white carbon black to be discussed in this chapter is the product of particles of a smaller size than those in common products, i.e., ultrafine here is not a scientific but a commercial term. The ultrafine powders in the scientific sense, e.g., nano copper, nano TiO and nano hydroxyapatite, and related topics will be discussed in later chapters. Nevertheless, the principles involved in the preparation of ultrafine white carbon black by impinging stream reaction-precipitation are very similar to those involved in the preparation of the nano powders mentioned above. Therefore this topic is discussed here under the overall title Preparation of ultrafine powders . 

The liquid-continuous impinging stream (LFS) device has the features of efficient micromixing and strong pressure fluctuation and, being the major equipment in the preparation of ultrafine powders by reaction-precipitation, it has exhibited excellent performances in a number of application cases. However, of the various preparation... 

Chen [16] studied experimentally the preparation of ultrafine white carbon black by the common (one-step) precipitation process with the submerged circulative impinging stream reactor (SCISR) developed by Wu [15] as the reaction-precipitation equipment and obtained satisfactory results. 

In the investigation on preparation of ultrafine white carbon black the submerged circulative impinging stream reactor (SCISR) is used as the reaction- precipitation equipment, the structure of which is the same as that shown in Fig. 10.2 it also has the same effective volume of 3.6x10 m but the top cover is not used for convenience because the process is carried out at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure.
