Principles of Abatement Technology |
| Condensed Phase Pollutants |
|
In most cases particulate pollutants are removed from gas streams by making use of one of the following properties:
|
| Vapour Phase Pollutants |
|
Most commonly combustion in air, with or without a catalyst is the method of choice. It is important to realise that many technologies used for vapour phase pollutant removal are also able to remove particulates but these are often operating by different mechanisms it is thus difficult to optimise for vapour phase and condensed phase removal simultaneously. |
