Best Answer

With a high voltage applied to the discharge electrodes a strong electrical field is created between the electrodes and the flue gas is ionised, plus-ions migrate to the negative electrode and minus-ions migrate to the ground electrode. On their way through the particulate laden gas the ions collide with and attach themselves to particles and drag them to the electrodes.

In the ESP, there is an inlet through which polluted air, mostly smoke, comes in. Then, it goes to a separator chamber where an electrostatic field is present. When it enters, the compounds of different materials in the air gets dissipated (electrolysed). THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE CATIONS & THE ANIONS PRESENT IN THE MOLECULE GET STUCK TO THE CATHODE & THE ANODE, THUS, LESSENING THE DENSITY OF THE SMOKE, & CHANGING IT COMPLETELY. Then it let into the atmosphere, when it has become less harmful:)

NOTE: This explanation works for the small models of the ESP. For the bigger ones, I DON'T KNOW ! ! !

How do the electrostatic smoke precipitators work?

It sucks in smoke Smoke is made up of mostly solid substances dispersed in a gas. The electrostatic smoke precipitator generates static electricity, this then gives the solid particles passing through them a negative charge. The particles then pass through to two positively charged conducting plates and, due to their negative charge, they are attracted to the plates where they collect and form a layer.
