Chimneys in power stations use electrostatic precipitator to attract soot particles. Electrostatic precipitator are filtration devices that use electromagnetic charges to remove particles from gases.
electron can easily penetrate in to dust particle
an electrostatic precipitator is a device in which a dusty air stream is passed through some plates carrying a high voltage. This adds an electric charge to the dust particles. When the air stream then passes close to some plates that are grounded, then the charges attract the dust to the plates, and the dust is captured for disposal.Some furnace processes create a lot of fly ash, and the above device is typically used to capture the dust.
When moisture in dust particle its is late to ionise the gas as it was dry, so gas late to Ionise meanwhile gas accumulation treatment times fail. So the electrostatic precipitator lass efficient during this.
There is a lot of variation in the applied DC voltages that operate an electrostatic precipitator (ESP). Some work on a few thousand volts (a few kV), while big industrial units might run on upwards of 100,000 volts (100 kV).

An electrostatic precipitator is a filterless gadget that eliminates fine particles, similar to residue and smoke, from a streaming gas utilizing the power of an instigated electrostatic charge insignificantly hindering the progression of gases through the unit. As opposed to wet scrubbers, which apply energy straightforwardly to the streaming liquid medium, an ESP applies energy just to the particulate matter being gathered and consequently is extremely productive in its utilization of energy (as power)
