Claim:
1. A method of handling charging emissions from a coke oven, comprising: providing a coke oven; positioning an inlet of a housing adjacent to, and in fluid communication with, a charging opening of the coke oven, which is configured to produce coke by driving gaseous volatile matter from carbon material through pyrolysis; drawing charging emissions from the coke oven into the housing inlet and an elongated duct that extends along a serpentine pathway from the housing inlet to a housing outlet; the charging emissions including combusted and uncombusted gaseous volatile matter, combustible particulate, and heated particles from a coke manufacturing process; drawing the charging emissions along a fluid pathway through an inertial separator positioned in the housing; the inertial separator including an inlet, having a first cross-sectional diameter, and an outlet and at least one impingement plate positioned within the fluid pathway, whereby the emissions are directed along a tortuous pathway around the at least one impingement plate and heated particles engage the at least one impingement plate and are forced from the emissions, which exit the outlet; collecting heated particles travelling through the inertial separator in a collection bin, having a second cross-sectional diameter greater than the first cross-sectional diameter, configured to slow the heated particles travelling through the inertial separator; and receiving at least a portion of the charging emissions in a baghouse coupled with the housing outlet.
