Abstract

Inhalable particles are harmful to public health and cause serious environmental problems. In this paper, surfactant sprays and gas jet were introduced into the agglomeration chamber to encourage the agglomeration of inhalable particles. The coupling effect of double gas jet and surfactant spray could remove 51.3% of inhalable particles. The mass mean diameter increased from 3.5 m to 5.1 m, 5.7 m and 8.7 m under the action of surfactant spry, double jet and the coupling effect, respectively. Surfactant species had a remarkable influence on particle agglomeration. Non-ionic surfactant, OP-10, could remove more than 50% of inhalable particles. Increasing the concentration of surfactant agents could result in the incremental removal efficiency of inhalable particles. In double gas jet experiment, when gas jet located in asymmetrical sites, more inhalable particles were removed.
