2 Outline 2 Motivation Measurement of specific dust resistivity Conductivity models a) Dust layer thickness and specific dust resistivity Summary and outlook Test materials used: a) fly ash b) spherical glass dust b)

3 Motivation 3 Steel-Converter HKM/Duisburg Source: Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann / Heinz Kottysch Pit formation by back corona Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) Aim: Better understanding of physical processes within the precipitated dust layer to avoid back corona. Influence of current density, dust properties, gas conditions on back corona. Dust depositions on collection electrodes of a laboratory scale electrostatic precipitator specific dust resistivity

4 Measurement of specific dust resistivity 4 Definition and measurement principle of specific dust resistivity ρ: porosity, morphology, moisture,.. electrodes R = resistance (Ohm s law: U = RI) s = layer thickness A = area of collecting electrode ρ = specific dust resistivity I = strength of current ρ= f ( T, ϕ, x d, ε, U,..) Descending Ascending T d = 55 C 1st PiKo funding period: Detection of particle morphology effects on resistivity ρ and back corona under defined air conditions (with glass particles and fly-ash). Adhesion of dust particles on top layer of dust, detection of release of those particles into gas stream (started laser beam experiments). spherical glas, dt/dt = 3 C/min, j = 0,5 ma/m 2
