Removal of iron oxide particles in a gas stream by means of a magneticallystabilized granular filter

The present study deals with the influence of diverse operating variables s uch as gas velocity, height of the bed, magnetic held strength, and particl e bounce on separation of fine dust particles (iron oxide) in magnetically stabilized granular filters (MSF). The collection results are more effectiv e when the height of the MSF and dust sizes increase. Investigations concer ning the magnetic field behavior have shown that the collection efficiency increases when the magnetic field also increases. And the increase of the m agnetic field strength has shown that particle bounce significantly decreas es and the adhesion probability, gamma, of the MSF improves.
