  • Composition for reducing fly ash resistivity
    Patent number: 4428866
    Abstract: A mixture of an alkyl amine, e.g., tri-n-propylamine and an SO.sub.3 -containing acid, preferably, sulfamic acid is injected into the flue gas stream of a coal-fired utility boiler to reduce the electrical resistivity of the fly-ash particles and to increase their mean particle size, thereby improving their recovery by electrostatic precipitation or by mechanical separation, with consequent reduction in stack emission.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 19, 1982
    Date of Patent: January 31, 1984
    Assignee: Dearborn Chemical Company
    Inventors: Richard L. Every, Franklin D. Lewandowski, Jerome F. Lech
