The document discusses electrostatic precipitators. It begins by defining an electrostatic precipitator as a particulate collection device that removes charged particles from a flowing gas using electrostatic force. It then explains that electrostatic precipitators efficiently filter gases while minimally impeding gas flow and can easily remove fine particles like dust and smoke. Positively charged plates attract negatively charged dust particles, which accumulate in layers and are later vibrated off into a collection hopper, completing the collection process. Electrostatic precipitators have wide industrial uses like filtering emissions from blast furnaces and coal-fired power plants.

ABSTRACT
An electrostatic precipitator (ESP), or electrostatic air cleaner is a particulate collection device that removes particles charge. from a flowing gas using the force are of an induced electrostatic Electrostatic precipitators highly

efficient filtration devices that minimally impede the flow of gases through the device, and can easily remove fine particulate matter such as dust and smoke from the air stream. In high- voltage electrostatic field, affected by the electric field force, gas ionization takes place. There are tremendous amount of electrons and ions existing in the ionized gas. After the dust particles are combined with these electrons and ions, they will be polarized, most of them are negatively polarized. Under the action of the field force, negatively charged particles migrates towards the positive electrode and in turn release electrons and attach to the positive electrode. When the particles agglomerate and the layers reaches a certain thickness on the plate, rapping system will start to work and the particles will be dislodged from the collecting plate by vibration and falling into the hopper. That ends the collection process. Electrostatic precipitators have been extensively used in high temperature gas cleaning from equipment such as blast furnaces, open heart furnaces and central station pulverized fuel boilers. The chemical industry has many applications including sulfuric acids plants, carbon black, cement kilns and soda ash from paper mill black liquor furnaces.
