| Abstract |
| Smoke nuisance in coal fired furnaces ued in the ceramic industry is
appalling. Besides the emission of gases like sulphur oxides (SOx),
nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) etc about 0.5 to 0.6
tonne (500-600 kg) of carbon and dust particles are emitted to the
air from a furnace consuming 10 tonnes of coal per firing. The
poisonous effects of the gases can be minimized considerably by
dilution when they are released in atmosphere through chimneys of
suitable height. However, the particulate pollution (e.g. due to unbumt
carbon and ash) because of the release in comparatively large
quantities, cannot be avoided, and its effect demands due attention
towards its control and monitoring. Applicability of some smoke
control devices has been discussed in the light of the conditions prevailing
in the ceramic kilns in the country and some measures for
controlling smoke have been discussed. |
