Abstract

Filtration of charged aerosols by granular bed filters enhanced by an externally applied electrostatic field was studied experimentally. The filtration efficiencies of latex aerosols by sand beds were measured for various aerosol and bed granule diameters. The results were compared with theoretical solutions. It was demonstrated that high filtration efficiencies of charged aerosols may be achieved when moderate electrostatic fields are applied to a filter.
