WHAT IS ELECTOSTATIC PRECIPITATOR?

What is the electrostatic precipitator used for?

Originally designed for recovery of valuable industrial-process materials, electrostatic precipitators are used for air pollution control, particularly for removing harmful particulate matter from waste gases at industrial facilities and power-generating stations.

What is meant by electrostatic precipitator?

An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) removes particles from a gas stream by using electrical energy to charge particles either positively or negatively. The charged particles are then attracted to collector plates carrying the opposite charge.

What is the principle of electrostatic?

The electrostatic theory originated in the proposal that if two metals are placed in contact, electrons will be transferred from one to the other so forming an electrical double layer, which gives a force of attraction.

What are the properties of electrostatic?

Isolated positive and negative charges. Transfer of charge from a neutral or charged object by contact. Polarization of charge in a neutral conductor or insulator. Thransfer of charge from a neutral or charged object by induction.

When was Electrostatic Precipitator made? /who made it ?

The electrostatic precipitator (ESP) was first invented in 1907 by a physical chemist named Frederick Gardner Cottrell. Cottrell was working at the University of California, Berkeley, when he first developed the device as a way to control air
