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.

Highlights
We are excited to share that our Carbon-Ukraine (Y-Carbon LLC) company participated in the I2DM Summit and Expo 2025 at Khalifa University in Abu-Dhabi! Huge thanks to Research & Innovation Center for Graphene and 2D Materials (RIC2D) for hosting such a high-level event.It was an incredible opportunity to meet brilliant researchers and innovators working on the next generation of 2D materials. The insights and energy from the summit will definitely drive new ideas in our own development.
Carbon-Ukraine team had the unique opportunity to visit XPANCEO - a Dubai-based deep tech startup company that is developing the first smart contact lenses with AR vision and health monitoring features, working on truly cutting-edge developments.
Our Carbon-Ukraine team (Y-Carbon LLC) are thrilled to start a new RIC2D project MX-Innovation in collaboration with Drexel University Yury Gogotsi and Khalifa University! Amazing lab tours to project collaborators from Khalifa University, great discussions, strong networking, and a wonderful platform for future collaboration.
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!
