摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method and assembly for controlling the behaviour of particulate matter such as mist and dust occurring in the manufacture of paper and board. In the method, a web (1) is passed to web treatment equipment (22, 23) wherein at least one treatment step is applied to the web (1) causing the emission of said particulate matter (24). According to the method, in the vicinity of the emission point (21) of said particulate matter, are placed at least two electrodes (25, 26), and at least one electrode, called a counter-electrode (26), is taken to a low potential. Further, at least one electrode (25) is taken to a potential higher than that of said counter-electrode (26), and the potential difference between said electrodes (25, 26) is made so high as to generate a corona discharge between said electrodes that causes an ion-blast wind toward the electrode (26) of the lower potential, said ion-blast wind being capable of transferring particulate matter, which enters the gap between said electrodes, toward said electrode of lower potential.
