ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic precipitator including a cylindrical tube the upper end of which is provided with a gas outlet while the lower end is provided with a gas inlet. Mounted adjacent the upper end of the tube is an ion source. Adjacent the lower end of the tube is a diaphragm which is vibrated by an ultrasonic transducer. A liquid is supported on the diaphragm and caused to vibrate in order to produce a mist. An electric potential is established between the ion source and the liquid so that carbon particles contained in the gas stream passing through the precipitator are trapped by liquid droplets which are then conveyed back to a reservoir for the liquid.
