General Description
Handling of calcined coke potentially creates dust emission during loading and transportation, especially when its grain size distribution is fine. To prevent this, a dedusting agent is usually added after calcination. To optimize the quantity of oil necessary for limiting dust emissions, the dusting propensity of a specific calcined coke should be determined.
The measurement is conducted with the RDC-177 apparatus, where a given mass of sample is placed. A valve allows the sample to fall into a chamber, while an airflow carries the finest particles to a filter on top of the equipment. The dust forming factor is calculated and reported as the percentage of dust in the filter compared to the initial sample weight.
