MCQ
Smoke precipitator works on the principle of:
- ADistribution law.
- ✓Neutralization of charge on colloids.
- CLe$-$Chaterlier's principle.
- DAddition of electrolytes.
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Neutralization of charge on colloids.
Smoke precipitator works on the principle of neutralization of charge on colloids.
Smoke coming out of the chimneys contain a lot of unburnt carbon particle.
Smoke is the colloidal solution of the solid particles such as carbon, arsenic, dust particles etc. These particles are injurious to health and have to be precipitated.
Carbon particle is charged particles and can not be precipitated. Thus, a metal plate of an oppositely charged particle is used for their precipitation.
This is done by the Cottrell smoke precipitator which neutralizes the charge on the carbon particles and neutralizes them.
In this way, smoke coming out of the chimneys gets free from the charged particles.
