Abstract

The article discusses a possibility of removing smog particles from a boiler smoke. To do this, the boiler smoke is passed through a flow of gamma radiation, formed by interaction of the microtron beam with a heavy target. The energy of the microtron electrons twenty five megaelectronvolts, the beam current one hundred microamperes. Smog particles are ionized with gamma radiation and then sat down on the plates of the electrostatic filter. The height of the filter plates is one m, the electric field between the plates one kilovolt per centimeter. The smog particles on the plates should be removed regularly to a specialized dust collector.
