Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to measure and analyze fine particle emission behavior, such as PM2.5, from stationary sources, such as waste incinerators and factories, fine particles emission behaviors from different sources including a waste incinerator plant in Malaysia and a coal combustion plant in China were investigated by international collaboration with China, Malaysia and Austria. Because of dust collector installation, the mean mass based concentration of PM2.5 emission from each source was about 1.0 mg/m3, it was confirmed that the volatile matter concentration in PM2.5 was much higher than that in coarse particles, such as PM10 and total dust. In spite of the same design of virtual impactors based on ISO 13271, the working accuracy at the head of nozzles to collect coarse particles affected on the sharpness of PM2.5 and PM10 separation by using fluid dynamic analysis.
