  • Patent number: 9839916
    Abstract: A wet-type electric dust collection device and low-concentration SO3 mist containing, in which the wet-type electric dust collection device has an electrical field formation part in which a plurality of discharge electrodes are provided on opposing surfaces of a first electrode and second electrodes for forming a DC electrical field. The discharge electrodes of the first electrode and the discharge electrodes of the second electrodes generate corona discharges that are reversed in polarity relative to each other. The gas containing the SO3 mist and the dust is guided to the electrical field formation part without electrically charging the SO3 mist and the dust or spraying a dielectric in the gas, and while the gas flows between the electrodes, the corona discharges impart electric charges of alternately reversed polarity to the SO3 mist and the dust. The first electrode and the second electrodes collect the charged SO3 mist and dust.

  • Publication number: 20150135949
    Abstract: A wet electrostatic precipitator includes an electric field forming unit including a first electrode and a second electrode which form an alternating electric field. The first electrode is a flat plate, and has a plurality of discharge electrodes on a surface that opposes the second electrode. The second electrode includes a discharge frame, a first flat plate portion and a second flat plate portion. The first flat plate portion opposes the discharge electrode of the first electrode. A plurality of discharge electrodes are formed on a surface of the second flat plate portion that opposes the first electrode. The discharge electrodes alternately generate corona discharges having opposite polarities in a direction perpendicular to a flow direction of gas, and alternately apply charges having opposite polarities to mist and dust. The first electrode and the first flat plate portion trap the charged mist and the dust.
