In recent years, interest in the technology of gas cleaning has grown, driven partly by environmental legislation, but also by demands for increases in process efficiency and intensity - notable for power generation and waste incineration. This book, which leads on from our successful Gas Cleaning at High Temperatures, describes the present state of the art and its industrial applications.

1 Gas cleaning at high temperatures: gas and particle properties.- 2 Sampling and measurement.- 3 Inertial separators: basic principles.- 4 Inertial separators: design and construction for high-temperature use.- 5 Fabric filters.- 6 Rigid ceramic filters.- 7 Fibrous ceramic filters in industrial use.- 8 Granular ceramic filter elements.- 9 Granular bed filters.- 10 Electrostatic precipitation.- 11 Dry scrubbing.- 12 Condensable components.- 13 Wet scrubbing.
