Abstract:
A laboratory-scale wire plate wet electrostatic precipitator was designed and constructed to investigate the particle enhancement and capture characteristics of electrostatically charged droplets in continuous atomization mode. A comparison was made between different types of wet electrostatic precipitation mechanisms for particle removal, and the change mechanism of gas ionization mode under the action of charged droplets was analyzed. Experimental investigations were conducted on the effects of electrospray on corona discharge "ionic wind", as well as the force mechanism, agglomeration effect, and removal stability of particles under the synergistic action of electrostatic atomization and an electric field. The results demonstrated that electrospray mode could enhance the interaction between droplets and particles, promote the coagulation and accumulation of fine particles, increase their diameter to larger sizes that are easier to capture, and achieve high particle collection efficiency with significantly reduced water consumption while maintaining high corona current and particle capture effectiveness.
