诊断X光能用来除霾吗?——X光在减少工业污染气体排放中的潜在应用

Potential Applications of Diagnostic X-rays in Filtering Air Pollutants

我国的雾霾污染近年来有加剧的现象,国家最近也特别重视,希望能从工业源头控制污染气体排放。我们提出利用X光的电离效应设计一种安装在工业烟囱出口的净化装置,可以有效控制工业污染气体排放。

Air pollution and haze in China have reached intolerable levels. It is important to make significant progress in controlling air pollution. We proposed a novel type of air purifier, which is based on ionizing interaction of X-rays with air pollutants. The device is composed of two components：X-ray tubes and collecting plates. The X-rays generated by X-ray tubes are used to ionize air pollutants in order to charge airborne particles. The collecting plates are used to collect those charged air pollutants. Our device can be installed as a filter on top of every industrial chimney that can efficiently remove air pollutants.
