This book is of interest to all those in process industries or power generation and to academics concerned with gas cleaning and environmental issues.

This present book includes selected papers presented at the 16th International Conference on Electrostatic Precipitation.

The book also contains descriptions of the industrial implementation of the technology for NOx and SO2 removal using accelerated electrons. This technique has been implemented in three plants, built in China, Poland and Japan.

Charged particles migrate due to the electric field and subsequently precipitate onto the collection electrode.

Electric fields. Corona discharges. Charging of particle suspensions. Motions of admixture particles. Formation and removal of deposit layers. Behaviour of deposit layers. The separating process in electrostatic precipitators.
