Tech/Engineering - Environment & Ecology / Emissionsminderung
German term or phrase: Auswascheffekt
Ich hatte bereits nach "Waschflüssigkeit" gefragt und tendiere hier zu "scrubbing effect", um konform zu gehen mit "scrubber" (Wäscher).

Aber was mache ich mit dem Auswascheffekt, von dem im gleichen Absatz die Rede ist?

Es geht hier um die Minderung gasförmiger Emissionen bei der Spanplattenherstellung:

Absorption: Bei dem Absorptionsverfahren werden die Schadstoffe (saure Gase
wie z. B. SO2, HCl, HF) mittels einer Waschflüssigkeit aus dem Abgas ausgewaschen.
Durch Zugabe von Chemikalien wird der Wirkungsgrad des Abscheiders
erhöht. Ohne Chemikalienzugabe könnte mit einem Wäscher nur durch permanente
Frischwasserzufuhr ein gleichwertiger **Auswascheffekt** erzielt werden. Die
Waschflüssigkeit sollte weitgehend zirkuliert werden, um den Abwasseranfall zu
minimieren. Abscheideleistungen zwischen 20 und 60 % sind möglich.

scrubbing effect


Explanation:
(removal capability of the scrubbing medium; cf. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/forestry_wood_ti...

Examples

7.3.3 SO2 ***Scrubbing Effect*** of Mg-rich Solution
... Therefore, literature review and preliminary experiments were
performed to investigate the ***SO2 removal capability*** of Mg-rich solution.
http://etd.ohiolink.edu/send-pdf.cgi/Park AhHyung Alissa.pdf...

[0012]Using *seawater scrubbing to reduce the sulfur dioxide* and other pollutant in exhaust emission mainly relies on some important conditions. One of the conditions is the temperature. The higher the temperature, the worse is the ***scrubbing effect***. Another condition is the gas-liquid contact surface. The larger the surface, the better the scrubbing effect is.
