A scrubber in the exhaust of a chemical industrial plant removes:
gases like suplhur dioxide
particulate matter of the size 5 micrometer or above
gases like ozone and methane
particulate matter of the size 2.5 micrometer or less
Control of air pollution -
The emission of exhaust from automobiles can be reduced by devices such as positive crankcase ventilation valve and catalytic converter.
Electrostatic precipitators can reduce smoke and dust from industries.
- wherein
Gaseous pollutants arising from industries can be removed by differential solubility of gases in water.
A finepray of water in the device called scrubber can separate many gases like NH3, SO2, etc. from the emitted exhaust.
