Synergistic Effect of Multi-field Force on Condensable Particulate Matter Properties and Behavior in Flue Gas: A Case Study in a Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Plant by Wenting Liu, Bowen Zhao, Qian Feng, Zhiyong Zhou, Jianyi Lu

“…It is demonstrated that the combination of thermophoretic force and electric field in CE-ESP intensifies the turbulent agglomeration process, and the diffusion force generated by the concentration field synergistically enhances the interparticle coagulation and agglomeration. This promotes the homogeneous condensation process of CPM and the heterogeneous condensation of CPM and FPM, which is conducive to the reduction of condensable particulate matter in flue gas and can provide a theoretical basis for practical application in engineering.…”
