Baghouses and Depth Filters utilize air flow throw filter media (often in the shape of a bag) to capture particulate matter. Filter elements with pleated media and other porous materials (ceramics, glass fibers, etc.) are also used.
Cyclone separators and centrifugal separators utilize centrifugal, gravitational, and inertial forces to remove fine particles suspended in air or gas.
Dust collectors are used in many processes to either recover valuable granular solid or powder from process streams or to remove granular solid pollutants from exhaust gases prior to venting to the atmosphere.
