Devices to remove pollution from coal combustion fumes

1. Scrubbers: Scrubbers are a type of air pollution control device that works by removing pollutants from the coal combustion fumes as they pass through the device. These pollutants are often chemically bonded to the exhaust, and the scrubber interacts with them to draw them out of the air. This process is called “scrubbing”, and typically uses water, acids, bases, or other liquids to interact with the pollutants, forcing them out of the exhaust. 2. Electrostatic Precipitators: Electrostatic precipitators are another type of air pollution control device. This device works by running an electric current through the exhaust gas to produce an electrostatic field. The pollutants in the exhaust are then attracted to the charged particles and trapped in a filter. 3. Catalytic Converters: Catalytic converters are used to reduce the amount of harmful pollutants produced by burning coal. This device works by causing a chemical reaction between the pollutants and the emission gases, which converts the toxic pollutants into less harmful forms.
