Systems and methods for particle leak detection generally include a separation or collection device configured to filter particulate from a stream and a detection device downstream of the separation or collection device. The detection device can be positioned to detect particulate that passes the separation or collection device and can include a probe configured to detect the solid particles. The particle leak detection systems can be configured to be disposed on moveable systems, such as moveable systems in coke oven operations.

The present technology describes various embodiments of systems and methods for handling emissions. More specifically, some embodiments are directed to systems and methods for collecting heated particulate from a coal processing system. In one embodiment, a method of handling emissions from a coal processing system includes inletting the emissions into a duct. The emissions include heated particulate. The method further includes slowing a speed of the emissions traveling through the duct and disengaging the heated particulate from the emissions without the use of a physical barrier. In some embodiments, the heated particulate is slowed, cooled, and diverted from an emissions pathway into a collection bin.
