The most efficient equipment for the removal of sub-micronic dust particles from blast furnace gas is the__________________?

Correct answer: C. Electro-static precipitator

  • A. Venturi atomiser
  • B. Gravity settling chamber
  • C. Electro-static precipitator
  • D. Cyclone separator

Explanation

An electrostatic precipitator gives particles an electrical charge and collects them on oppositely charged plates, making it highly effective for sub-micronic dust. Gravity chambers and cyclones are mainly suited to much larger particles.
