چکیده
Electrostatic precipitators have been used widely in industry, and play an important role in environmental protection. Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) can be operated with a high collection efficiency and a low pressure drop. Recently, ESP also has been used for cleaning indoor air. In this review, principles of electrostatic precipitation, such as particle charging, migration velocity of charged particles and collection efficiency, are described. Performance of ESP deteriorates by abnormal phenomena,including back corona for treating high resistivity dust, abnormal re-entrainment for low resistivity dust, and corona quenching for fine dusts. To cope with these phenomena, new technologies have been developed. Pulsed energization is a technique to cope with high resistivity dusts, and this results in lower power consumption. Using pulsed energization, non-thermal plasma can be generated and chemical reactions can be promoted for treating gaseous pollutants such as NO and volatile organic compounds. Wet ESP can also remove dusts and gaseous pollutants simultaneously, These new advancements will widen the field of application of electrostatic precipitation. Some novel applications of ESP, such as removal of dioxin from incinerators, are also included in this review.

The Efficiency of Scattering Charged Particles from the Radiation Belts with an Electrostatic Tether Structure
Introduction This report develops a simple model to calculate the rate of precipitation of particles trapped the earth’s magnetic field when they are scattered by an orbiting electrostatic tether and its plasma sheath. Together the tether and the sheath form an electrostatic structure that can scatter particles out of the radiation belts. This model is simple but capable of refinement; it gives...

The separation of particles from gases within electrostatic precipitators is mainly depending on the flow conditions. The flow field is governed by the mutual interaction of the electric field with the gas ions and the turbulent channel flow. Especially for wire-plate electrostatic precipitators this causes secondary flows, well known as the 'ionic wind'. The influence of the ionic wind on the ...

Soft-X-ray-enhanced electrostatic precipitation for protection against inhalable allergens, ultrafine particles, and microbial infections.
Protection of the human lung from infectious agents, allergens, and ultrafine particles is difficult with current technologies. High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters remove airborne particles of >0.3 μm with 99.97% efficiency, but they are expensive to maintain. Electrostatic precipitation has been used as an inexpensive approach to remove large particles from airflows, but it has a co...
