K. Schaber, AEROSOL FORMATION BY SPONTANEOUS PHASE-TR ANSITIONS IN ABSORPTION ANDCONDENSATION PROCESSES, Chemieingenieurtechnik, 67(11), 1995, pp. 1443-1452
Formation of aerosols by spontaneous condensation or desublimation in
condensers or absorbers often causes serious problems in industrial pr
ocesses. The fine aerosol particles, formed under special operating co
nditions, remain suspended in gases and are carried over into downstre
am stages or lead to high pollutant concentrations in the exhaust gas.
The present paper describe under what conditions aerosols are formed.
The characteristic behaviour of aerosols is discussed with the aid of
experiments and computer simulation.
