Apparatus for ionizing gases, electrostatically charging particles, and electrostatically charging particles or ionizing gases for removing contaminants from gas streams

摘要

A venturi increases the velocity of contaminated gases and guides the gases past a high, extremely dense electrostatic field presented perpendicular to the gas flow and extending radially outward between a central, accurately sized disc electrode and the surface of the venturi throat. Downstream, charged particles are collected by a wet scrubbing process or electrostatic precipitator.
