I am in the process of designing a wet scrubber for the removal of sulfuric acid mist from exhaust air.
This mist is reported as having particle size of 5 - 6 micrometers and specific gravity slightly above 1, while the packing manufacturer has data only for 7 - 12 micron particles at that SPGR, and for SPGR 2 -4 at the particle size of interest.
Is there any equation to correlate removal efficiencies? Or rules of thumb to the same effect?
