Application and design requirements.
Scrubber components:
- multi-section scrubber frame;
- irrigation system with centered tangential jets (replaceable);
- with sludge regulative float device;
- emergency water supply system
Contaminated gas is fed by inclined gas flue to the bottom of the scrubber and rises up the frame. On the top of the scrubber there are 3 irrigation tiers, which consist of centrifugal jets. Lime-water suspension (CaCO3), that is under pressure, is spraying. Drops of aqueous solution CaCO3, are falling due to gravity towards contaminated gas. Water drops capture dust articles happens due to inertial and diffusion mechanism, hydrodynamic and electrostatic forces and turbulent diffusion. Gas cleaning from sulfur oxides is based on absorption technology. After contact of lime-water suspension with gas, reaction takes place:
Control system and automatics for the scrubber
СаСО3 + SО2 + ½ Н2О = СаSО3·1/2Н2О + СО2
Oxygen, which is in the products of combustion, oxidizes the calcium sulfate in neutral sulphate (gypsum):
СаSO3 ·1/2H2O +1/2O2 = CaSO4·2H2O
Exhaust aqueous solution with gypsum and captured dust is accumulated in the bottom of the scrubber. Peeled gas is fed by gas flues, which are located on the top of the device. For pulling of the sludge there is a special device, which consists of float camera and throttle control, that supports a given level of sludge in the hopper.
Scrubber frame is designed for organization of gas flows and water drops. Irrigation system is designed for supplying and spraying of the water in the scrubber frame. Drainage sludge mechanism is designed for automatic removal of sludge from scrubber frame. Emergency water supply system is designed for stopping of water supplying if it is impossible to remove sludge from scrubber frame.

The seminar, titled “MXenes for Space and High-Tech Applications: From Scalable Synthesis to Smart Structures, Sensors, and Advanced Bio-Composites,” brought together researchers interested in the development and application of advanced nanomaterials. The presentation covered recent progress in MXene technology, with a particular focus on scalable synthesis and the integration of MXenes into smart structures, sensors, advanced electronics, multifunctional composites, and space technologies.
The study, “Green-Synthesized MXenes Enable Low-Friction, Cytocompatible PVA-Chitosan Hydrogels,” explores the incorporation of HF-free, green-synthesized Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXenes into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-chitosan hydrogels. The research demonstrates that this combination can produce highly hydrated, mechanically enhanced, cytocompatible materials with significantly improved tribological properties.
Our collaborative work on porous Ti₃AlC₂ MAX phase for efficient Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene synthesis has been ranked among the Top 10 most cited papers in the International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology (IJACT).
We highly recommend checking out new important paper: “Critical Assessment of Intrinsic Antibacterial Properties and Photothermal Therapy Potential of MXene Nanosheets.” Along with the key findings, we’re also excited to share the Supplementary Cover Art — it beautifully illustrates our vision of MXene-based targeted complexes that can eliminate bacteria via photothermal conversion under near-infrared irradiation.
Do MXene nanosheets possess intrinsic antibacterial activity? A systematic study of high-quality Ti-, V-, and Nb-based MXenes reveals negligible inherent antimicrobial effects while highlighting their strong potential for targeted photothermal antibacterial therapy.

MXenes potential applications include sensors, wound healing materials, and drug delivery systems. A recent study explored how different synthesis methods affect the safety and performance of MXenes. By comparing etching conditions and intercalation strategies, researchers discovered that fine-tuning the surface chemistry of MXenes plays a crucial role in improving biocompatibility. These results provide practical guidelines for developing safer MXenes and bring the field one step closer to real biomedical applications.
An excellent review highlighting how MXene-based sensors can help tackle one of today’s pressing environmental challenges — heavy metal contamination. Excited to see such impactful work moving the field of environmental monitoring and sensor technology forward!
