Research on Electrostatic Precipitation

Dear Colleagues,

Electrostatic precipitation (ESP) is a widespread technology in the field of filterless particle removal, especially for flue gas cleaning, due to its important ability to collect suspended particles and low pressure loss. As the applications of electrostatic precipitation for coal-fired power plants are facing saturation, the versatility and mechanism of electrostatic precipitation are attracting more interest. Recently, research on electrohydrodynamic flow, nanoparticle collection, indoor air cleaning, etc. has grown rapidly, indicating numerous gaps in knowledge and engineering applications to fully take advantage of electrostatic precipitation. This Special Issue aims to bring together the latest works on mechanisms, numerical models, and applications of electrostatic precipitation, from basic research to applied development, and to contribute to the collection and manipulation of particles, micro–nano materials, biological cells, and flow fields.
