Abstract:In order to further improve the coagulation efficiency of fine dust by electrocoagulation device and reduce its harm to human body, a type of two-zone thorn-type electrocoagulation device consisting of bipolar burr pre-charged area and parallel plate dust collection area was developed. And the experiments were conducted to study the effects of three coagulation parameters: the installation of two-zone burr pre-charged device, the polar spacing, the applied voltage on the coagulation efficiency of fine dust. The results showed that when the applied voltage was not higher than 13 kV, the coagulation efficiency of fine dust increased with the increase of applied voltage. While the electrocoagulation efficiency didn’t increase obviously when the applied voltage exceeded 13 kV. The installation of bipolar burr pre-charge device and shortening polar spacing could effectively improve the coagulation efficiency of fine dust. When the applied voltage was 13 kV and the polar spacing was reduced from 0.03 m to 0.02 m, the coagulation efficiencies of dusts with all sizes increased by over 10%. According to the experimental results, the optimal experimental parameters for fine dust electrocoagulation were as follows: the installation of the bipolar burr pre-charge device, the polar spacing of 0.02 m, and the applied voltage of 13 kV. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for the promotion of electrocoagulation technology and industrial applications. Key words:fine dust/ electrocoagulation/ polar spacing/ applied voltage.
