Progress in Preparation Technology of Porous Ceramics for High Temperature Dust Filtration

With the rapid industrialization and urbanization,the demand for air quality management is more and more urgent.High temperature dust filtration is one important environmental management technology.Porous ceramics are used as filter materials in the field of high-temperature dust filtration because of their unique advantages such as high filtration efficiency,as well as high temperature stability,particle loss resistance,corrosion resistance and durability.This paper mainly introduced several common preparation techniques of porous ceramics,including the traditional organic foam impregnation method,foaming method,in-situ combustion method,pore-forming method and other new methods such as the template method,gel injection molding method,freeze-drying method,multi-component co-precipitation method and hydrogel method.The principle,advantages and disadvantages of these preparation technologies and their research status were described.The application of these technologies in the field of high temperature dust filtration was briefly reviewed.Finally,the application prospect of the porous ceramics in the field of high temperature dust filtration was prospected.

Experimental study on the effect of canyon cross wind on temperature distribution of buoyancy-induced smoke layer in tunnel fires

Experiments were conducted in a 1:20 arced tunnel model to investigate the effect of canyon cross wind on buoyancy induced smoke flow characteristics of pool fres,involving smoke movement behaviour and longitudinal temperature distribution of smoke layer.The canyon wind speed,longitudinal fre location and fre size were varied.Results show that there are two special smoke behaviours with the fre source positioned at different flow feld zones.When the fire source is positioned at the negative pressure zone,with increasing canyon wind speed,the smoke always exists upstream mainly due to the vortex,and the smoke temperature near the fire source increases frst and then decreases.However,when the fre source is located in the transition zone and the unidirectional flow zone,there is no smoke appearing upstream with a certain canyon wind speed.Meanwhile,the smoke temperature near the fre sources are decreases with increasing canyon wind speed.The dimensionless temperature rise of the smoke layer OT:*along the longitudinal direction of the tunnel follows a good exponential decay.As the canyon wind speed increases,the longitudinal decay rate of△T.*decreases.The longitudinal decay rate of AT*downstream of the fire is related to the fre location and canyon wind speed,and independent of the fire size.The empirical correlations for predicting the longitudinal decay of OT:*downstream of the fre are established.For a relatively large-scale fre,the longitudinal decay rate of AT:*upstream of the fire increases as the distance between the fire source and the upstream portal increases,especially for larger canyon wind speeds.
