Fine dust in the air, which is formed by anthropogenic and natural processes, causes serious health problems for humans and leads to significant weather and climate changes.
The course on dedusting technology explains the properties and harmful effects of dusts and the associated importance of using dedusting processes. This also includes the implementation of their operating principles in corresponding process engineering equipment, e.g. filters, cyclones, gravity and wet separators. Calculation and modeling methods are presented in order to design the equipment. Concrete application examples will be presented to the students in several exercises.

Content:

• Basics of aerosol technology
• Characterization of dusts
• Dust separation processes and their area of application
• Calculation and modeling methods
• Apparatus designs
  
   

Course in winter term 2024/25
