Can NaOH remove tar from water gas? Does it react with tar?
It is understood that the effect of removing tar is not significant
Theoretically, this reaction is possible, but it is difficult to implement in practice. The acidic gases present in water gas react first with NaOH
It is somewhat effective; the alkaline solution produces foam, and this foam helps to trap tar. Of course, an electrostatic mist eliminator would be the best option.
Which is more effective for cleaning, tar removal or crude benzene? NaOH gives only average results
