Correct answer: C. Fly ashफ्लाई ऐश
Explanation
An electrostatic precipitator charges suspended particles and collects them on oppositely charged plates, so it removes particulate matter, i.e. fly ash, from flue gas. It is not effective against gases or vapours such as VOCs.स्थिर वैद्युत अवक्षेपक निलंबित कणों को आवेशित कर विपरीत आवेशित प्लेटों पर एकत्र कर लेता है, अतः यह निर्गम गैस से कणिकीय पदार्थ अर्थात् फ्लाई ऐश को हटाता है। यह गैसों या VOC जैसी वाष्पों के विरुद्ध प्रभावी नहीं है।More People, Development and Environment questions
