Abstract
Turbulence agglomeration is an effective way to promote agglomeration of particles. The coupling of classic Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid model with population balance model was used to simulate the agglomeration process. The simulation results show that turbulence agglomeration could reduce 56% of emission of fine particles less than 10 μm. Smallest particles less than 2 μm were easily be removed, while the removal values of particles with medium size was very low. The suitable spacing of vanes was benefit to remove the fine particles from gas flow. Small angle of the vanes could improve the removal of fine particles.
