Potential Use of Wet Scrubbers for the Removal of Tobacco Dust Particles in the Tobacco Industry

Tobacco dust represents a critical threat to the operators’ respiratory health. Even when wet scrubbers display high purification efficiencies and strong adaptability dust, their potential applications in tobacco industry have not been studied. In present research, removal efficiency of scrubber for fine were examined at laboratory industrial level. Results showed that under conditions reached maximum value 99.17%. addition, discharge concentration was reduced minimum 1.1 mg/m3. Our data indicated after using scrubber, large particles (≥10 μm) more effectively removed than (≤5 μm). After use facility, overall 98.9%, point as low 1 This complies with ultra-low standard production requirements. study demonstrated feasibility provides new insights suppression processing industry.
