Introduction
The collection efficiency of dust particles in ESPs
depends on the charging and collection of the particles.
Charging requires high current density (or ion density)
and electric field, while the particle collection requires
only high electric field.
From the point of view of particle charging, the
current density increases the characteristic charging
time, thus leading to a higher surface charge for the
same gas residence time. The electric field also
increases the surface charge. The magnitude of this
effect depends on the dust particle size. For dust particle
diameter (4) greater than 10 pm, the particles are
mainly charged by field charging mechanism. Thus, the
electric field has a greater impact on the surface charge
then the ion density. For dust particle diameters smaller
than 0.1 pm, the particles are mainly charged by the
diffusion charging mechanism. Therefore, the ion
density has a greater impact on the surface charge than
the electric field. For dust particles in the transition
region (O.1pm I dp IIOpm), the electric field and the
