Influence of Micro- and Macrostructure of Atomised Water Jets on Ammonia Absorption Efficiency

Ammonia has a very wide range of applications. Its worldwide production exceeds 230 million tonnes per year. Due to its properties, ammonia causes serious threat human life and health when released uncontrolled into the environment. Research carried out in word shows that this substance may be effectively neutralised by absorption water. The aim research described paper is determine influence key parameters micro- macrostructure water streams on course process. During studies, different types nozzles were used, with similar efficiency supply pressure, but characterised produced stream. experiments divided two stages. In first one, macro- microparameters measured, while second changes concentration established during delivering spray jet generation nozzles. Among basic macrostructure, angle liquid distribution (spray intensity) determined, for microstructure, droplet size mean diameters measured. was measured means photoionisation detector (PID). order evaluate jets, apparent rate (kp) half-time reduction (t½) kinetic established. study confirmed atomised jets are an effective method neutralising practical aspect structure Increasing conical stream leads improvement quality atomisation helps increase absorption. Moreover, it also observed spatial clouds, use should made generating full cones high uniformity dispersion.
