Abstract
The separation characteristics of particles entrained in a particle-laden gas for separation by the commonly used methods for removing particles from a gas stream are improved by injecting finely divided urea into the gas stream prior to its passage through the separator. The urea conditioner agglomerates the particles to facilitate their removal from the gas stream by the separator.
Claims14
A method of conditioning a particle-laden gas comprising the step of forming a mixture of the particle-laden gas and a conditioner comprising finely divided urea, said mixture being at a temperature of at least 150.degree. C., said conditioner being present in an amount sufficient to produce agglomeration of said particles.
