Traces of tar fog present in the coke oven gas is removed by_________________?

Correct answer: D. Electrostatic precipitator

  • A. Cyclone separator
  • B. Wet packed scrubber
  • C. Washing with monoethanolamine
  • D. Electrostatic precipitator

Explanation

An electrostatic precipitator effectively removes fine tar fog droplets from coke oven gas by electrically charging and collecting them on plates. A cyclone is better for coarse solid particles, while monoethanolamine removes acidic gases rather than tar fog.
