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.

Where can one find more information about electrostatic precipitators?
Thomasnet, Globalspec and Wisegeek all provide online information on electrostatic precipitators. Wikipedia also contains an extensive article on them.
How do electrostatic precipitators benefit the society?
cleaning the dirty particles in the air
What are the most efficient dust collection systems?
There are different dust collection systems available. The most efficient dust collection systems include electrostatic precipitators. Electrostatic precipitators are highly efficient and highly costed.
What is the major pollutant that electrostatic precipitators are designed to remove from power-plant smokestack emissions?
Particulates
What are the uses of sulphur trioxide?
In process plant environment, SO3 gas is mixed into flue gas from combustion to make the ashes charged up before flowing through electrostatic precipitators. The electrostatic precipitators will then trap the ashes, making cleaner process emission possible.
What removes ash and other particles from smokestacks?
electrostatic precipitators settling chambers fabric filters cyclones
What has the author Gregory A Kallio written?
Gregory A. Kallio has written: 'Interaction of electrostatic and fluid dynamic fields in wire-plate precipitators' -- subject(s): Electrostatic precipitation
What has the author K L Barnes written?
K. L. Barnes has written: 'Mechanisms of particle migration in electrostatic precipitators'
How can electrostatic precipitator absorve carbon?
Electrostatic precipitators can capture carbon particles by using an electric field to charge the particles. The charged particles are then attracted to collection plates with opposite charges, where they adhere and accumulate. This process effectively removes carbon from the air, making electrostatic precipitators an efficient method for carbon capture and air purification.
Why do power stations use electrostatic precipitators?
Power stations found electric gas cleaning in electrostatic presipitators an efficient way to recover valuable products carried out of the stacks from the operations of the furnace.
What are 3 types of static electricity?
Lightning is a Natural phenomenon which shows Static electricity. Xerox machine works on the principles of static electricity , Electrostatic precipitators control solid pollution from a smoke works on this electrostatic principles , Some spray coatings and powder coatings are also working on the same principles
Can an electroscope precipitator remove the polluting gases from the exhaust that is created when coal is burned?
Electrostatic precipitators can only remove particulate or droplets from exhaust gases. This includes, but is not limited to: dust, fumes, mists, fog, powder, smoke, hair, paint over spray, ash. Gases cannot be removed by this method.
