- Additional information
- In the industrial world, occupational exposure to dust is associated with an increased risk for important health conditions, e.g. pulmonary diseases and lung cancer. This research studied the long-term use of SiC powders in concentrating solar power plants as well as their dustiness including a parametric study involving aerosolised particles releaser from the original material when subjected to vortex rotation for several hours. This research made a significant contribution towards the improvement of safety of industrial processes and environmental protection, and the research results can be used in process engineering design recommendation and consultancy practice.
