In an electrostatic dust separator having a ionizing electrode axially disposed within a Venturi, an annular nozzle produces a spray of an auxiliary substance in the gas stream issuing from the Venturi, around a polarizing electrode. The coarse particles of the spray are electrified by influence and they attract and retain the finer ionized dust particles carried by the gas. The spraying nozzle may be disposed within an auxiliary Venturi to increase the velocity of the gas and to improve impact effects between the dust particles and the sprayed particles. The ionizing electrode is preferably formed with fins to enhance the ionizing corona discharge, while the polarizing electrode is on the contrary smooth to avoid any noticeable discharge effect. The gas to be treated may be fed into the inlet of the main Venturi by an injector nozzle to produce a negative pressure whereby a portion of the gas issuing from the main Venturi may be recycled into same through an annular passage provided around the said main Venturi.
