EFFECTIVENESS OF EMPLOYING A BAG FILTER TO REMOVE DUST PRODUCED DURING CEMENT MANUFACTURE
Abstract
This study investigates the problem of particulate matter emissions in the cement industry and its mitigation through bag filter technology. The hydrodynamic resistance coefficient of a novel filter fabric composed of fiberglass and Teflon was experimentally determined. Experiments were conducted under various operating conditions to optimize filtration parameters and enhance dust removal efficiency. Results demonstrate that the Teflon-coated fiberglass filter achieves 15-20% higher cleaning efficiency compared to conventional filters, with optimal performance observed at a filter thickness of 3 mm and gas velocity of 20-25 m/s.
