Abstract
Reducing dust emissions in the cotton ginning industry is a pressing environmental and industrial challenge. This study examines the applicability, efficiency, and energy performance of electrostatic dust collection technologies (ESP) at cotton cleaning plants (cotton gins). Given that Uzbekistan’s current environmental regulations allow higher permissible dust concentrations than the standards of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we analyze ways to protect ambient air quality through the deployment of electrostatic precipitators. In both laboratory and industrial settings, we conducted a comparative assessment of the physico-chemical properties of dust particles and the effectiveness of existing dust-control methods. The results show that ESP technology captures particles down to 0.01 μm with 99.9% efficiency while using less energy than alternative methods. Large-scale implementation of this technology is a key factor in ensuring environmental safety, protecting worker health, and aligning industrial production with international standards.
