TY - JOUR AU - Genshaft, A. AB - IN TWO-STAGE REMOVAL OF DUST FROM SINTER GASES GAS CLEANERS M. N. Shvets, A. N. Zhilinskii, and A. G. Genshaft About 200 conveyor sintering machines with sintering areas from 50 to 312 m 2 are in operation in the metallurgical plants and ore-benef~ciation combines of the USSR. In each of these a large quantity of gas with dust contents from 200 to 1500 mg/m 3 is formed. All existing sintering machines are equipped with gas cleaners which reduce the amount of escaping dust to the acceptable standard and protect the rotors of the exhaust fans from erosion wear. The majority of sintering machines (85%) are equipped with multiple dust catchers of various types used for dry gas cleaning. The theoretical efficiency of multiple dust catchers is quite high, as high as 95-98%. However, as a result of the specific properties of sinter dust (abrasiveness, adhesion), the high dust content of the gases, and the presence of sulfur compounds in them and also because of design short- comings of multiple dust catchers their average service efficiency is 15-20% less than the calculated. Among the shortcomings of multiple dust catchers reducing their efficiency are intense abrasive wear, nonuniform distribution of the TI - Removal of dust from sinter gases in two-stage gas cleaners JF - Metallurgist DO - 10.1007/BF00732787 DA - 2004-11-18 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/removal-of-dust-from-sinter-gases-in-two-stage-gas-cleaners-jYbFKm6mnS SP - 95 EP - 98 VL - 19 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
