To Reduce Pollution Due to Burning of Coal in Thermal Power Plant

Abstract

Over the past decades, many techniques or resources are used in order to generate electricity or to produce power and many more. To generate electricity or power, some substance needs to be burned those sources include fuels and coals. Coals are the major sources which are used in thermal power industries. And due to the burning of such fuel or coal, the production of harmful gases arises. These gases include CO₂, sulphur, nitrogen, and soot particles. According to various researches, the production of CO₂ is much larger than the production of other elements which mostly affects the global warming. This project has a new concept which aims to reduce most of those gases which comes out of the thermal power plant. An experimental study has been conducted to check the amount of pollutants coming out from our prototype, and on the basis of the results, the amount of pollutants reduction will be calculated. This project mainly focuses to reduce the particulate matter coming out of the power plant. Since by burning of a coal, the production of particulate matter is much higher that’s why this paper aims to reduce that CO₂ from entering into the atmosphere and hence reducing pollution as well as the ozone layer depletion.
