To address the shortcomings of existing particulate matter trapping technology

especially the low separation efficiency of fine particles

herein

a novel gas cyclone–liquid jet separator was developed to research fine particle trapping. First

numerical simulation methods were used to investigate the flow field characteristics and dust removal efficiency of the separator under different working conditions

and to determined suitable experimental conditions for subsequent dust removal experiments. Afterward

the separation efficiency of the separator against five kinds of common particles

including g-C

and SiO

was experimentally studied. A maximum separation efficiency of 99.48% was achieved for particles larger than 13.1 μm

and 96.55% efficiency was achieved for particles larger than 2 μm. The best crushing atomization effect was achieved for the separator when

u

G

was 10 m·s

-1

and

u

L

was 3 m·s

-1

while the best separation effect was achieved when

u

G

was 10 m·s

and

u

L

was 3.75 m·s

-1

. Studies have shown that the gas cyclone–li

quid jet separator has excellent applicability in the separation of fine particles.
