Coagulation of submicron particles in gas-dispersed media due to high-intensity shock-wave exposure

Abstract

The article presents an approach to solving the problem of gas cleaning from high-dispersed aerosols with particles less than 2.5 microns. The proposed approach is based on the use of high–intensity shock-wave ultrasonic exposure, which provides an increase in the coagulation efficiency of high-dispersed particles up to 20 times (in comparison with harmonic ultrasonic exposure). The article considers an example of the implementation of the process of shock-wave exposure on aerosols using previously developed ultrasonic emitters. The results obtained are the basis for the make and use of a new class of gas cleaning equipment for capturing submicron particles in solving the problem of environmental and human protection.
