Abstract
The method and apparatus of the present invention are directed to conditioning particulate-containing gas streams using novel additives. The additive is an organometallic salt, preferably of a carboxylic acid, that decomposes in the gas stream to produce mobile metal compounds that significantly reduce the resistivity of the particles. The additive is particularly effective under hot-side conditions when used to condition particles to be collected by an electrostatic precipitator.
