Agglomeration and Dispersion Related to Particle Charging in Electric Fields

Electrostatic forces cause spontaneous movement of charged particles; subsequently, electrostatic technology is attracting attention because its application in powder handling processes, such as separation, classification, dispersion, and collection. Dielectric conductive particles are by induction a strong electric field moved Coulomb forces. The magnitude polarity the transferred charges controlled strength direction field. dielectric also polarized field, dipole interactions occur between or particle layers, complicating behavior. This review paper presents charging, agglomeration, levitation, other behaviors resulting from layers fields. A series phenomena parallel electrode systems, which consist lower plate an upper mesh electrode. Charged agglomerates formed on levitated forces, disintegrated with rotation when approaching mechanisms agglomeration disintegration have been elucidated multiple studies, including microscopic observations theoretical analyses motion, based numerical calculations Furthermore, new system proposed for continuous feeding dispersed using fields vibration.
