In large thermal power stations very fine particulates present in flue gas are removed by___________________?

Correct answer: C. Electrostatic precipitators

  • A. Wet scrubber
  • B. Bag filter
  • C. Electrostatic precipitators
  • D. Dust catcher

Explanation

Electrostatic precipitators impart charge to fine particles and collect them on oppositely charged plates, making them effective for the large flue-gas flows of thermal power stations. Dust catchers mainly remove coarse particles, while bag filters are less suited to very large hot flue-gas streams.
