Electrostatic Precipitator

In today’s discussion, we are coming up with a very important and modern concept. Currently, there has been a complete change in the way which the chemicals are evaluated and handled.

Here we will discuss electrostatic precipitator, the theory that defines the electrostatic precipitator and what are the uses of the electrostatic precipitator.

In 1824 M. Holifield, a mathematics teacher in Leipzig first described the precipitation of smoke particles by electricity. In this, the first commercially successful process was patented in 1908 following experiments by American chemist Frederick Gardner Cottrell at the University of California, Berkeley. This process is widely used in the field of organic chemistry. In the early units that are used to remove sulfuric acid mist and lead oxide fumes emitted from acid-making and smelting activities. With the help of this device, the vineyards in northern California from lead emissions.
