다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The geometry of popular wave plate type mist eliminator for the wet flue gas desulfurization process was improved, fabricated, and experimentally evaluated. A Mist eliminator is a type of inertial particle collector which collection efficiency is proportional to the velocity of the gas phase. However, as the amount of re-entrainment is also proportional to the gas phase velocity, there is a limitation for the gas phase flow rate. Re-entrainment is one of the most important issues in a mist eliminator and is likely to occur as the input of the liquid phase and flow rate of the gas phase increase. In order to resolve this problem, the projection angle of the improved mist eliminator is set to 30° from the conventional one while maintaining the cross-section. With low flow rate conditions, the modified mist eliminator showed a similar pressure drop and overall collection efficiency. However, with conditions in which re-entrainment is obviously occurring, the modified mist eliminator showed better performance in draining droplets than the conventional one. As a result, the modified mist eliminator showed higher overall collection efficiency.
