Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the smoke capture behavior of Micro/Nano Bubble (MNB) technology combined with ozone for reducing pollutants generated from coconut shell combustion. Smoke produced from the combustion process was drawn into a tunnel system by an exhaust fan and treated through a high-pressure spraying nozzle. The working fluid consisted of Micro/Nano Bubbles combined with ozone (MNBs + Ozone). The experimental results indicated that MNBs + Ozone significantly influenced pollutant removal efficiency. For carbon dioxide (CO₂), increasing the spray pressure from 10 to 50 bar resulted in a substantial reduction of treated gas concentrations compared with the untreated exhaust gas, with average removal efficiencies of 81.76% and 84.58%, respectively. In terms of nitrogen oxide (NO) removal, the treated gas concentrations were lower than those of the exhaust gas, achieving average removal efficiencies of 45.43% and 62.50%, respectively. Similarly, carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations decreased after treatment, with average removal efficiencies of 57.27% and 72.60%, respectively.  The findings demonstrate that the MNBs + Ozone working fluid possesses effective pollutant absorption and removal capabilities, contributing to the reduction of emissions generated from biomass combustion. Furthermore, the working fluid is environmentally friendly and shows potential for application in air pollution control systems.
