Abstract
Abstract This invention is a dust collecting system for gases containing dust produced in the case of charging coke ovens with coal wherein a plurality of divided sub-ducts are arranged on coke ovens and a main duct connected with them is connected with a dust removing apparatus so that a discharged gas having passed through a dust collecting and removing apparatus for gases containing dust as provided in a coal charging car may be completely introduced into the duct, may have dust well removed with the dust removing apparatus connected with the main duct and may be discharged into the atmosphere as a very clean gas.
